I was cutting out fabrics to use for the first circle on the orange bullseye and pulled these from my hand-dyed box. After I ironed them into quarter folds, I was really struck by how beautiful these colors are together. Very simpatico.
Especially these four together.
But even more so when I added in some blues. This makes for a really really pleasing color palette. Makes me want to go dye up some more fabric which I haven't done in years. At some point the dye powders I own will no longer be working so I ought to use them, eh?
Here's the two stacks, the orange backgrounds on the left and the first circle fabrics on the right, which includes the hand-dyes above. This is going to be a very vibrant quilt.
Those hand dyes are amazing! I am glad I will get a little piece on my quilt, though I am tempted to tell you to make something out of them alone.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to hold them out and make something too, but they look really good on the orange squares.
