discharged shirt

Today I spent the day making blocks for a quilt for my bed. This quilt is being made with bow ties. It sure seems like I will never get all the blocks made I'll just keep working on it little by little and it will get done sooner or later.

This shirt I discharged then dyed in a blue, I didn't like the color after rinsing it out so I overdyed it with intense blue. Since the shirt discharged to a tan/brown the color came out toned down to a teal. I was looking for something a little brighter but this will work and Marc will wear it in Paducah.

Marc needed a few more shirts to wear at the shows so I discharged two shirts and overdyed them. This red one turned out nice but the other one I overdyed with a blue that just did nothing for the shirt so I overdyed it with intense blue and have it batching now.

I went to guild last night and our program was the crayon challenge blocks we made. Mine was so ugly, I had chosen the colors of brown and grey and the colors just looked terrible together. Most of the gals blocks had some great color combinations. Needless to say I won the ugliest block award which was a nice piece of fabric that had sayings of what quilter's really think.
