But wait I am getting a bit ahead of myself. I finished this quilt. Seriously, I finished it. It is finished. done. It’s true. Even the binding.

and now about the indigoindigoI used one of those big Homer pots from Home depot and I used the pre-reduced indigo from pro chem in Fall River MA.

Let me tell you – It is about as messy as you might think. I tied up this piece of white kona cotton and submerged it for about 2 and a half minutes.indigotied1wowindigodyedas soon as I wash it out I will post pics.

See you tomorrow! Happy January!
