The summer weather is beautiful here and the dye pots are calling.
With the full blue moon I was inspired. It was time to dye indigo moons for the Sun/Moon quilt. I brewed up a strong batch,
the indigo "bloom" telling me it was ready.
I worked very hard to get two wonderful moon blocks.
I especially love this one with moon beams shinning down from the moon and a slight cloud cover.
The block size is around 17"x20".

My next moon for the quilt isn't quite as good but will do. 17"x20"
I think the quilt needs 3 moons the last one will be a crescent moon appliqued on an indigo block.
A few smaller moon blocks, 7"x10"
Extra indigo fabric.
The quilt is coming along.
I also had a batch of cochineal/madder root solar dyeing.
It will be my next block, a spiral sun.
