Here's something I just stumbled on that might be useful to quilters. I think if I were doing it I would search this site for a better way to stabilize the dye. She's after a watermark look, which is necessarily pale, but most of the time quilters will want something more permanent, and perhaps more intense. Others have discussed dying techniques, but I haven't found this particular one. http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/0...-by-sweet.html

Have fun!

Wonderful, thanks for sharing this with us!

Fun and so simple. Would be great to create with children or at a retreat during fun time. Thanks for sharing.

Once the glue has been removed, you could over-dye it with a second color.

Looks like fun! I'll need to try this one!

That's a good point. I imagine you could do several in succession, just as in traditional batik. I'm probably not so ambitious. I hope others will post pictures if they try this, both of fabric and any that's used in a quilt.
