I acquired more scraps. Well actually, I ask for them from a dear friend because I knew she was all done with them. Thank you Terri. The 1960's-70's wild and crazy prints were gifted to her and she made a beautiful quilt with them. When she showed me the quilt, I ask about the leftovers. You can do that with dear friends.
I selected a few and ran them through the dye pot just to take the edge of of them so they would incorporate into Tim's quilt.
Here is the first tree corner component. I have woven some of the new scraps with old one and I find this is a great way to introduce new fabric to the quilt so that it looks cohesive.
I decided to go ahead and conjoin a forest component with this new corner because in the past, I have had a plan for a component and then forget the plan. I love the connections. Today, I stitch.
So glad you left a link for your cloth side since I keep forgetting to check it out. Wonderful stuff going on over here. Sitting and stitching sounds relaxing. A question - What is a "dye pot" and what is it used for?
