I have been playing with gelatin printing on fabric for several years. I have a big pile of monoprints.
The pieces are just waiting for a project.
1 – Print in a similar color scheme and even if the marks are different the fabrics can be coordinated.
2 – Use the same kind of fabric and then the small printed pieces can be sewn together for a bigger project.
3 – Try to make fabrics with light to dark impressions. They will combine for a stronger design.
4 – I like to use the “passage of time” method to set my inks. I have tried ironing and dryer heat setting, but my most reliable method is to just wait a few months to a year to wash the fabric.
