| The price of having fun with dyes! |
 |
| Purple, Yellow and Raspberry The dye is sprinkled across the surface of the fabric. I hung the fabric on the line and sprayed with soda ash and water to allow the dye to blend and meander down the surface. |

I did something similar to your confetti dying myself. The family were all raving about the bits & pieces that I had made. They were trying to figure out what the different shapes/patterns looked like. So far I have only made one single bed quilt for my eldest daughter, a few years back. I must get back into playing with dyes again & also make something from the pieces too. I have grand kiddies now & they love bright colours so they might be the ones getting some of my work...lol. I used salt, then rolled the fabric up on a tube & sat the tube upwards to help it drain & dry. They only thing is you DO need warm weather to help it dry.... it can take a few days... yes I have gotten impatient & undone the fabric early & yes it was still wet, so I just laid it on an old table outside so I wouldn't lose too much of the pattern. Enjoy yourself at you showing, & good luck.
