ducky quilt update
So, Saturday I decided to work on the ducky quilt. I haven’t worked on it really since it was the ufo for the month. I wanted to begin on the background.
I began by sorting through my ender leaders, then went on to pulling fabric out of my scraps. I had the idea of creating a backdrop that is green and blue like plants and the sky.
I found a significant number of swatches that worked but weren’t exactly the kind of bright background I wanted.
So I broke open the dye and as you see in the first image at the top of this post, did a little low water immersion.
The results were really close to my intention. The middle one was originally white. It must have a significant amount to polyester in it because it just doesn’t pick up the dye like I would like. The others I really like but there was not nearly enough. So finally, I had to break down and go to the fabric store.
I’m so excited to start piecing this!
