The atmosphere of summer rain in the cemetery.

(also i'm working on writing up a proper pattern for these and would love to get some feedback/concrit, so if you'd like to give these a test knit, lmk and i'll send you a draft of the pattern!)

All patterns are from antiquepatternlibrary, except for the sword one, which is from braceletbook!

SIX, that's right, SIX small quilts i made in May this year. they're varying sizes, but all around 10" across (except the last one, the granny square; that's about 14"). these are all made using fabric i naturally dyed in my kitchen using things like osage, madder, cutch, wattle, black walnut, knotweed, goldenrod... some modified with iron or soda ash. playing with color and making sure scraps don't go to waste!
