I used all my own hand dyes and overdyes for this. It is amazing how much variety I got from using just 2 procion MX dyes: Blue Violet and Strongest Red. This quilt is for the New Quilts for an Old Favorite: Jacob's Ladder contest. Can you see the stairway made from the Jacob's Ladder Blocks? This is just the background of the piece, showing the stairway coming from heaven to earth. I am going to add some more to the "earth" and then somehow put a sleeping Jacob and an angel. I am creating this as I go along. I will have to tackle the problems as I go along. I have already learned a lot while making this quilt. This is the first quilt I have made using my own hand dyes and overdyes and I love the colors. What do you think?
Looks like another winner in the making... you are SO very talented and it's fun to watch the process via your blog!
