Blue John Block #2


Colour choices and dyeing


Going back to my source picture I cut out small squares of different colours which I then tried to reproduce using water colours. This was the preparation for dyeing fabrics for the Blue John quilt.



Using tray dyeing and procion dyes from Art Van Go on polycotton  I created some wonderfully textured fabrics.



This is the grey, blue and purple palette, and the warmer yellow, orange and browns



I had in mind  terrazzo floor tiles and marble for this quilt so didn't want uniform colours


More design ideas using the 6 piece block. Not quite what I am looking for yet.
