Those are gorgeous!!!! My fav is the top photo--the RW&B up front. I see a catepillar with a clown face in the orange and the green has a wooly worm at the bottom of the fabric. You did a great job with some fantastic textures.

I see tiki faces in the long piece in red, white & blue!
I really didn't do too well at following the "rule" of starting with the lightest color then going to the darker ones - I just got so excited looking at all the dyes, I just grabbed the first one that caught my eye. :lol: Ooooh! Turquoise! Aaahhhh!! Yellow! Cobalt!!! Grab, grab, grab! Red! Orange!
I also was the last one to start dyeing, which worked out pretty good for me, because there weren't so many hands reaching for the colors. :wink: I did think that I was using SOOO much color that they were going to all end up being muddy & was surprised at all the white still left in some of the pieces.
Now I just have to think of how to use them all :D
