I’ve begun to take some of the pieces that I printed this summer and transform them into wholecloth quilts. This one I’m calling “Solar” and stitched it both by machine and by hand. It’s about 14″ X 21″ inches. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. This was sun printed using Jacquard Solar Fast Ink.

Simply lovely. How did you secure the leaves? (I battle with wind when I do sun-dyeing.)

Thanks! I usually placed a sheet of acrylic over the top if it was windy, at least for awhile. Also, I used large acrylic trays to place the while thing in before I applied the leaves and, to some extent, this keeps them a bit protected (the kind you buy as a molded picture frame)or placed the trays over the cloth.

Thanks Deb! Yes, thought I had posted process pics for this but upon looking back, I realized I didn’t. It was a busy summer, so look for a new post with the details in April!
