Dyeing again

It wasn't much I needed some blue quilt backs for veterans quilts so I decided to spend part of yesterday dyeing some fabric. I hadn't done any dyeing since December so it took a few minutes to get myself organized. After I dyed 4 quilt backs I decided to use some of my leftover dyes to parfait dye some fat quarters. Each container has 3 fat quarters in layers with each layer dyed a different color. I always look forward to the surprise results. I've been using so many of my fat quarters in quilts that I need to restock some of my color fat quarter stashes.
 

Back in the sewing room I added a bee to my farm baby quilt. There are 4 blocks left to make: pig, sheep and 2 sunflowers.

I got the pink cut out and it's pinker than it looks in this photo. For most of the blocks I have been able to use leftover fabrics from the original quilt. But for the pig I had to find new fabrics in my stash. As I finish each block I'm finally putting away the leftover fabrics from the original quilt. Today I will get the pig and sheep made and maybe get the sunflowers cut out.

Working on this quilt and dyed fabric today is getting me thinking about what my next project night be. I'd like to do something that will require me to dye a bunch of fabrics. I'll start looking through my patterns and web inspiration.
