I love the colors. Wonderful. I would love to dye my own material except I am a little too lazy. Haha!

Fantastic job! So far, I'm challenged to find enough time just to get quilts made with ready to go fabric, but dying my own is definitely on my must do list. Thank you for sharing your experience, fabrics and iQuilt class info, etc.!

Those colors are wonderful. Cringe on the Walmart comment, though I have found nice Waverly fabrics there. Reminds me of the woman who commented on the blanket I was working on (hand quilting). Makes one wonder. . .

I've never done dying before. Never thought it would look all that great....but WOW!~ Those are fabulous!

Can I ask how the "feel" of the fabric was when finished? I'd be afraid it would firm up or something and not be as soft as it was when you started. All wet here?

I really didnt notice a different feel after it was done. I bought fabric from Dharma...Mercerized Cotton Print Cloth 45" and the Pimatex cotton PFD...both felt good. I even used a yard of Joann Fabric muslin which wasnt too bad either.
