There will be an inner border of white and an outer border of dark blue. The binding will be red, maybe.

Design Wall Monday - July 9, 2012
There's another quilt of valor on the design wall. I really should be quilting the 4 quilts that I have basted, but I felt like working on this instead. The majority of the blue squares for this disappearing 9-patch came from Jane. Thanks Jane! Since there were so many colors and values of blue I decided to lay them out by value.

I also have been over dying some alpaca yarn. It was a hideous pink that shaded into a less hideous pink with blobs of a dark pink so dark it looked red. I over dyed it using Black Cherry kool-aid using this method. I think I can use this yarn now since it isn't so bright.

Love your arrangement of the D9P blocks... very nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd WOW! Overdying yarn with Kool-aid? Looks great....
Great D9P quilt. I think a thin red border would look great and then a larger blue one.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered: is the kool-aid dye colorfast? Do you add vinegar?
I love D9P. So easy, so versatile. I think red binding would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, the yarn looks yummy.
great looking D9P! and it will be a wonderful QOV...I like that you arranged the blues according to color value. can you dye fabric with KoolAid, too, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteGreat blue quilt. I love the little spark of red. Your yarn looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove your D9P layout...a great QOV!
ReplyDeleteLove the over-dye. If it ain't right - just fix it!
ReplyDeleteOver-dyeing is great and kool-aid is just fun to work with.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt colors and design, and smiled when i saw you are dyeing yarn. I agree, take some fugly yarn and overdye it and it can be pretty! Looks good!

I am so impressed, with both the Quilt of Valor AND the dyed yarn. Wow! I'm sorry to see you've had to deal with spam. I turned my WV off months ago, and haven't had one single problem!!
