This past week I made this quilt for my nephew, he wanted one like my mom used to make in the 60s. It just looked so bright that I couldn't send it to him, I didn't like it. This morning I dyed it with Tan Rit Dye in my washing machine. Now it is toned down and I like it better, I hope he does too.

Quilt like Mom made (but dyed)

you did a great job of "antiquing" the quilt. Good idea.

Don't think I would have ever thought of dyeing a whole quilt. Good job.
