The setup for rainbow tie dye is pretty complicated, but more yards does not increase the complexity... so I took the leap and did the whole bolt!

With my smaller dye projects, mistakes can be corrected... with something of this size it is one shot and I am done.

If I ever do this again, I will get some pool noodles and make some apparatus to contain/separate all of the liquids. Cleanup was a beast!

update: should have rotated the pictures, lol.
and BTW, I have no idea what to do with this fabric, other than quilt backings. :lol:
NO! Use it for a quilt top! Look for a pattern that 'speaks to you' and do a whole-cloth quilt! Your work is too beautiful to hide on the back!
