Friday finishes and one from Tuesday

I made two table mats from hand-dyed fabric
for a Mother's Day gift for my mother.

My friend Cheryl gave me leftovers triangles from a quilt she recently finished.

All the fabrics were hand-dyed by Cheryl in my mom's quilt studio.
Except the back, which is a white on whilte print
that I overdyed purple.
I like the crochet effect on it.
After I gave them to my mother, she said that the fabric came from the nursery curtains
we made 18 years ago.
I know I still have those, so I think I see more dyeing in the future.

And in case you missed it, my big finish this week
was the Anything Goes quilt made with blocks
from members of the String Thing Along blog.

I'm linking up with Sarah and Find a Friend Friday.

I have never used hand-dyed fabrics but they are all so beautiful! I might have to look into that one day soon. Your Anything Goes quilt is wonderful! I have a similar quilt on my project wish list. Looks like a really fun way to use up scraps and strings. Have a great weekend!
