My latest quilt, Rhythm of the City, is now complete.  It’s made almost entirely with fabrics I dyed myself.  I’m very happy with both the fabrics and the composition.

I added additional pattern and interest with couched heavy black thread. I think it adds a lot.

The colors, patterns, and values of the fabrics have dictated what looks good where and the fabric sizes have determined what will actually fit where. Things evolved on the design wall as I folded and auditioned fabrics in…

  • Overdyeing

    ByEllen Lindner

    I find that the best fabric prints require about 3 or more processes.  Usually something close to solid for the background, a large scale print, and a small print.  At the end of my previous dyeing session I had several fabrics that still needed one or more additions, so I addressed those early on.

  1. I love this quilt! I think your colors are all nicely balanced. Love the name, too! Am I not a follower on fb? I didn’t see this there. If not, I’ll have to remedy that.
