This quilt is a really neat example of transparency in quilts. Boy, I wish I could say it was my work! It's by Modern Quilt Studio, and it's super! It is a good quilt to dye for, once you know some dyeing basics.
And transparency is the subject of my upcoming
class on Saturday, May 11 at Quiltfest Lancaster!
You'll learn all the basics of dyeing, plus receive lots of recipes for colors that you can use to create your own unique transparency effects!
At the bottom of this post for the first time are all three versions of my Shoo-Fly Transparency quilt. What all these quilts have in common is the illusion you can create that one fabric is laying on top of another, and the combination of the two creates a third color.
P.S. - for a look at more samples of transparency quilts, check out my
Pinterest board. Thanks!
