Snow Dyed Quilt - Part 1

Last week, after a heavy snowfall I tried snow dyeing some fabrics for the first time.

This is how they turned out.  Walking past them, I thought all the colours looked good together and I couldn't resist doing something with them.  Hadn't planned to start a new quilt, didn't have time to start a new quilt but sometimes you just have to go with the flow!

My original plan was to do pinwheels in the center but I didn't like how they looked so opted for a more random look.

Here I'm making the outer border and trying out the butterfly templates I made.

This was my final placement of the butterflies.

Now for the really fun bit - the quilting!!

FMQ'd on my domestic machine, I worked this loopy clamshell pattern in the center.

It is nearly finished now, just sewing the binding on.  I'll be back to show you the end result soon. 

Oh and its snowing today and I just happened to order new dyes yesterday.

I feel another 'accidental' quilt coming on already!

Enjoy your day :)
