Pinks & Needles (used to be Gigi & Big Red): So this is the result of tye dying with acrylic paint. I probably should've skipped the thin streams of bleach I was trying to get white stripes....because I used light blue fabric. It didn't work like I planned but that's okay.
Pinks & Needles (used to be Gigi & Big Red): Scraps for raw edge binding. Hippies at heart like a little mess lol
Pinks & Needles (used to be Gigi & Big Red): Soaked in soda ash, tied and ready for dye
Pinks & Needles (used to be Gigi & Big Red): My hands are a mess lol. Wrapping this in heavy black plastic and setting in BBQ with the lid closed to set the dye. It's about 110 outside! The hardest part is waiting until tomorrow for the big reveal!
Pinks & Needles (used to be Gigi & Big Red): Quilt Back complete! Now it's time to sew!
