Hey Quilty -- last year I started the Mystery with a bag of hand dyes I had gotten at the thrift store and I changed the color options a bit, mostly changing the neutral to yellow and using values more than colors for the others.

I think my Frolic top came out lovely but I did want to mention that it was a lot harder (for me) working with the hand dyes than I thought it would be at first. I didn't think I would care which side was "up" but it turned out I did and I spent a lot of time just determining right sides... before I cut, after I cut, while I sewed... Also some of the color shifts within the fabric happened at bad spots -- so the design of a quilt really needed that little piece to look one color and it turned into another color, but that is going to happen with any designs larger than a quarter.

This was my bag, and this was my top -- it still isn't quilted but I think I might have someone for it now.
