    Well, I had been thinking about doing some of my own hand dyed fabrics and I had the supplies for quite a while.

    I was a little scared to try it but this past weekend I dove right in and these pics show the results.

    I used a fuschia Procion MX dye and I was trying to get a more distinct gradiation of the fat quarters. It didn't happen quite the way I had planned, but all in all, I think I like how they turned out.

    What do you think?
