The rules are short and sweet--we can make anything we want but can only use Michael Miller fabrics. I found a quilt I wanted to make with these fabrics, Wavelength from American Patchwork & Quilting June 2017 issue, by Sharon McConnell. Since I am trying to use stash, and don't have any Michael Miller fabrics I could identify, I decided to change the fabric I received. I used Rit Color Remover. First I had to buy a stainless steel pot to use specifically for the chemical change--and boy it happened fast. Luckily I tried a scrap from my stash before adding the challenge fabric pieces one at a time.
My husband complained about the smell, but the method worked very well. I barely dipped and stirred a time or two before fishing out the pieces and rinsing them. The red turned to an orange, and the blue turned to green. the advantage of the Rit remover is that it does not need a fixative--once rinsed, it is good to go. I'm going to use the black and white fabric for the stitch and flip corners. Hopefully I will get about 10 blocks to play with.
