More Ice Dyeing

Ice dyeing can be quite addictive.  I find myself wondering what would happen if...?  These pictures show the mandala folding. 

But, I guess a more important question is, "what am I going to do with them?"  These mandalas are beautiful and wouldn't benefit to cut them up.  So that leaves making them the center of a quilt.  I would like to quilt using perle cotton in long stitches on one.  Sashiko interests me, so one of them could be stitched with that technique.  I also want to try the kaleidoscope techniques. Some of the pieces will be cut up to add texture.  Solids are OK, but I find more interest in quilts with lots of texture and contrast.  

I want to make a stained glass quilt using the dyed pieces.  This is a picture of a pillow top that is fused and appliqued with clear monopoly thread.  

Not the traditional bias binding stained glass technique of years ago, but I like it.  

There are so many videos and resources available today making it easy to master the dyeing techniques.  Even my DH has learned how to do this.
