These are 2 quilts I've made with hand dyed batting as a feature in the quilt. Quilting Diva Laura had made a comment about this on my design wal post. The detail photo above is the truer color for this Aussie challenge quilt, which I have shown here before.
The piece below was our Fiber Festival Chinese block challenge. The blocks were blue & white bear paw blocks that I over dyed, & stamped with copper paint...hey, maybe I am really a dyer!The border on this piece is more quilt batting, that I dyed, & left exposed, because I liked the texture. I gave this to my friend Kathy because it goes with her house, she has it hanging on her wall. I also turned the blocks inside out on this piece, because the color was better from the wrong side, so it has raw edges. It's a fun piece.

Oh, wow, is that ever beautiful! I need to explore dyed quilt batting. I think it was Quilting Arts mag that had info on that.
Thanks for sharing those! They are so fun to look at and they look like they were fun to make too.
This is really original...and that is hard to be in this age of Quilting Arts clones. I love the look, the concept, the color, everything about it. Bravo!!!
