Arashi Shibori Fat Quarter

Kona Cotton Arashi Shibori Fat Quarter Dyed in the Indigo Vat by Carlyn Clark

As requested, I've come up with some fat quarters for my quilting friends. One of the challenges has been finding a pole that will yield a piece that's the traditional fat quarter size of 18" x 22". For this piece, I lashed two poles together which created some vertical interest as the dye penetrated the spaces between the poles differently than it did when the fabric was directly on the pole. I can manipulate where the verticals appear by changing how I place the piece on the poles. I was trying to do an off-center version here with enough variation that it would give a quilter interesting options when cutting and piecing. Even as I write this and the picture is in front of me I'm getting new ideas. Stay tuned, I've got another dye session at the end of the week.
