Laurel Anderson started Whisper Color to sell her hand dyed silk scarves. The cotton fabric she dyed became award winning quilts. The quilts are showcased in the gallery. Some of them are offered as quilt patterns. Additional quilt patterns may be offered upon request. Be sure to check out her cookie recipes. Some of them are very healthy. The earth friendly quilt batting is highly recommended. The 100% bamboo and the soy/organic cotton blend are soft like silk. In Laurels' quality test they both shrank 1% when washed in hot tap water and dried in the dryer. After washing they retained an even thickness and left a small amount in the dryer lint filter. They are easy to needle and very drapable. Buy the polyester/cotton blend if you want a stiffer batting. Prewashing is recommended for the batting containing cotton. It is optional for the 100% Bamboo. The bamboo is antimicrobial and earth friendly. It is a member of the grass family and can grow 3 feet per day. It produces more oxygen and uses more carbon dioxide than other crops. The quilt Stargazer is made with 100% Bamboo.
