    I think I would do at least one whole cloth quilt. Cut so the 90 inches goes down the bed and then quilt very unconventionally. Maybe a garden scene with butterflies starting from the bottom and working up Or modernistic shapes. The fabric is spectacular! It would be a shame to only use it for backs. I could also see a simple shift or a line dress out of it. Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

    I have had the idea of doing 90" muslin in a rainbow dye for a while. I was looking at my 10 yard bolt, and figured that it would fit in the washer no problem. 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!

    I know you posted this a few weeks ago and I am playing catch up....I quilted a tye dye whole cloth for a friend. The tye dye was the front with a print for the back. I found a hippie with a doobie and curling smoke-marijuana leaf, rising sun with rays, hippie bus, peace symbol-and others items that I placed on the quilt as I quilted it. What a hoot. I have photos-not great ones- but PM me and I can forward if you are interested. The tye dye was too good to waste on less.
