I love dyeing my fabric, I have my little dye cottage, and I do one yard in each bucket, I like doing gradations, and color wheels. I can go through a 25 yard bolt in one day of dyeing. I have so much fun!!
My avator of dancing mugs is all my hand dyed fabric, and I just finished 3 log cabin quilts with all hand dyed, and hand quilted them. I do not use the same method as you do but I have lots of fun, hope you do too. Happy dyeing!
