I did some dyeing for the first time since November! My second attempt at a green (#10 in the photo), and my first attempt at an orange (#11).
Ive also added a photo of this green next to my previous attempt at a green (#9), which shows how much difference it can make to use a different blue in the mix. The blue and yellow are in the same proportions in each batch, but the cerulean blue and cobalt blue give very different results. (#9 looks nicer here than under most lighting conditions non-overcast daylight suits it, but most of the time it looks kinda ugly.)
And finally a photo of my orange and my latest green along with an extremely failed attempt at a purple (#1) I like these three together and am now pondering quilting patterns for them.
, both with *and* without embroidery floss!

This year I am reproducing my grandmother's log cabin quilt which was hand sewn in Maine around 1905.
I researched the fabrics and found these reproduction prints. Have made 64 squares in all. And have stitched them into eight strips of eight each.
Next I'll stitch the strips together to finish the quilt top!
