Tea for one quilt

When my Round Robin came back, it was gorgeous. My partners had done a wonderful job creating beautiful borders and I am very happy with the results.
Except for my part. The white on the strippy triangles was simply too white for the rest of the quilt, and no one had added any white during the RR.
When looking at it with Billa, she immediately noticed that the white stood out. I thought for a minute, then decided tea-dying was worth a try.
I'm very pleased with the results. The white is softened just enough. Now to finish up with the quilting and binding. This will be a gift for someone who can really use a little extra warmth at the moment.
