It’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge weekend! My sewing was a trifle discombobulated last week as I coordinated “summer camp” for our kids last week. It rained. Often. We had many ups and downs, but it was a nice change from the summer schedule, I think.
I’ll be using neutrals this month as I don’t have much navy blue to work into my projects.
As part of our summer camp, we tie dyed shirts. Of course, since I quilt, I couldn’t stop with shirts. I pulled out my bold of 60” wide white fabric and cut off some quilt backs and some not-quite fat quarters. The turquoise-based quilt backs are still soaking, but the reds-oranges-yellows are soaked, washed, and ironed.

What a great idea, Katie! Those will make fun quilt backs!
How cool! Love your tie dyed.
Beautiful colors! Your dye projects will make great quilt backs.
I'll bet the kids enjoyed that activity. Spectacular results, Katie!!
What fun! The kids dyed their tee shirts and you enjoyed dying quilt backings. Such gorgeous colours they look wonderful.
What kind of dyes did you use? I want to dye fabric and yarn at some point and have picked up a few dyes. Love the deep magenta piece especially.
Tie dying shirts sounds like fun, but potentially messy activity. Love your tie died quilt backings. What a fun way to make a quilt one of a kind.
