Dyeing fabric with walnuts

I have been dying fabric with walnuts. It makes a great brown. Yes, yes I know brown is an ugly color, but a good brown is hard to find and endlessly useful. This is a funny gauze like fabric that has become insanly soft after the washing and dying process is over. All I can invision with it is BABY QUILTS!!!! Pair it up with some full bodied shades and some hand quilitng. I think it would ROCK! Good thing so many of my girlfriends are having babies....someone is going to get a walnut dyed baby quilt.

now, what do you do to prepare the walnut mix? this looks really interesting! i've dyed with tea, onion skins and cabbage before, but never walnuts.

Brown's not ugly! Brown is essential, and your brown gauze looks yummy!
