Well, I've finally finished the layout for the 3rd dye dog! This piece consists of fabric by Kay Sorensen, Quilts + Color. I finished our 2nd Dye Dog a few months ago. You can see that finished piece here.
Not sure which direction it will end up but it's all sewn together and I started to stich each section to hold in place.
Haven't decided if I'll hand stitch or free motion quilting. I have been playing with some free motion work lately. Just not sure which I end up doing
I do like the colors in Kay's hand dyed fabrics and I was lucky to still have some shibori fabric, in pink, from another exchange I did years ago with our fiber group. Colors just all went together!
In case I do hand stitch, I like to stitch in the ditch to keep the piece stable. Embroidery/hand stitching can cause some ripples so this just helps keep it all together!
Now to get back to free motion quilting. It does take a bit to get back into the swing of free motion work. Fingers crossed I haven't forgot how to do it!
It looks great!
