tie dyed quilt backs

we ran a tie dye t-shirt event this weekend at my daughter's school and i brought home the extra dyes. rather than waste them, i dyed 6 meters of muslin thinking it might make a great quilt backer. i am so pleased!

i'll fix them with sythrapol, and they will probably end up in a child's quilt and a picnic blanket. cool eh?

i can see how people get the dying bug. it's so fun!

Love it! But then I graduated from high school in 1972.

Yes - we forget how much fun we had doing that back then! However, when I think about it now all I can think of is the mess - old fogie LOL Glad you had a good time
