I dyed all of the greens but one and also dyed the teals. I had quite a few half yard pieces of assorted prints so thought I would try dyeing them. It worked pretty good, made more of a tone on tone fabric. The smallest cut is 1 inch. I have tried 3/4 inch before but that is just too small for me. I graduated 1/2 inch larger for each cut until I reached 3 1/2 inches. My strips were cut 2 1/2 inches wide but I think I might go a little wider next time and maybe do halves instead of joining at the seams.Thanks for your compliments. Cuppi
