Sun printing is produced on a special cyanotype cotton fabric that gives white and blue images on a deeper indigo background. The process is very simple: images such as leaves or grasses, paper silhouettes or designs drawn on transparencies are placed over dry cyanotype fabric, exposed to the sun or a UV lamp for 5-10 minutes, then rinsed and dried. The fabric is then ready to use as a quilt block.

Bring:
thimble if you use one
Sharp pointed scissors, cloth and paper
Optional: pressed or fresh leaves or flowers to print ( finely cut or serrated botanicals work best, such as ferns or lace leaf maples ) Lace or paper cut-outs
