Freedom Quilt 6 ~ More Ironing

It takes a while to iron 40 yards of freshly dyed cotton! Today I ironed some of the purples.

I'm ironing, cutting and folding as I go along. Here are today's colors along with yesterday's colors:

And here is one of the purples, I just LOVE the textures in these colors!

Tomorrow I finish this!  It takes a while, but it will be worth it.

Happy Creating,

Freedom Quilt 5 ~ Ironing

I've started ironing, cutting and folding the fabric for the Freedom Quilt.

I love the textures and tonality of these! There are some bold ones and some milder ones, all of them have a beauty of their own. Ironing feels like a process of discovery. I love it!

And somehow I manage to turn colors again... that is why we call it hand dying!

Today I ironed about 16 of the 40 yards.  I have been cutting fat quarters and 2.5 inch strips and these are the leftover chunks of the yellows.  Such a range of colors, I love them all!

Happy Creating!
