I was going along well with the heart appliques and making a nice quilt when I messed up the bottom row. So I was like man what am I going to do. Well I had recently seen a show on tea dying a quilt to age it. So I figured hey I got one I have messed up so I'll give this tea dyeing thing a try. So I did. Here are the results.

The dying looks good Henry. It does make it look aged.

Oh I like the tippy heart! It looks like you had one who just didn't want to follow its peers--wanted to go her own way. That's cute!! I have a tippy heart in my class every year. :D I bet you know a few Henry! You could make a great lesson for your kids using that quilt--have them write a story about it--trying to explain why that heart isn't the same as the others!! Have them wrtie from the heart's point of view. Oh my head is filling with ideas!! :D

The tea thing worked well too! I like the look.

Henry,
I like your quilt. Wouldn't have realized you didn't plan it that way & the tea bath really notched it up!

Henry, I don't think of that as a mistake, just a design opportunity. :lol: I really love the tea dye too. :-) :-) :-) Pam :-) :-) :-)

I'm not sure where the mistake is but it is certainly clear you took the mistake and made it into a design opportunity. It turned out great! And I too love the tippy heart. It makes a cute quilt into a charming quilt.
