Next month I am going to give a presentation to a guild on improv piecing.  They are ok with me setting up a table to show some of my hand dyed fabric.  I am going thru my hand dyes right now turning them into fat quarters and a few half yard pieces.  I haven't been using hand dyed fabric as much and now it will be an opportunity for someone else to make something with them.  Here is a picture of one full box of FQ's and the beginnings of another.  The small shoe box is the 1/2 yard pieces.  
Here is the fabric I still need to wrangle into FQ's.  It takes more time than I thought it would.  I still have a nice stash for myself on the shelf.  I did find that the greens and blues have a tendency to develop fold lines where the color fades out. I don't know if this was due to too much light or not.  My fabric storage room now has room darkening curtains that I made so light is not an issue.  Before the new curtains I had some flannel covering the windows.   I have sorted those pieces out as I have gone thru the fabric and will over dye those sometime in the future.
