As I was laying it out though, I saw that the dark red had bled. A lot! I've been pre-washing all my fabrics for at least five years, but these fabrics were pulled from the scrap bin and are older than that. I wish I had remembered that! I also wish I'd remembered that I had made some colour catchers and it would have been the perfect time to test them, but do you think I did that? No, I completely forgot about them until this morning. Luckily the Spray N'Wash looks like it worked. Phew!
Now I'm itching for it to be done drying so I can get the binding on. I think binding is my favourite part of the whole quilting process. Seriously. I love binding because I can do it while watching TV or a movie. This quilt is big enough for several movies too. :D Any movie recommendations?
I am doing binding tonight while watching Thor The Dark World with my men. Wished I just lived a bit closer so I could take your class!
ReplyDeleteI've started washing my reds twice.....but I still had the same thing happen with some reds that I pulled out of a scrap bin (they were only washed once). I thought I had fixed it, but when I put the binding on, I noticed the red had actually run to the back of the quilt, as well.......lesson learned. The quilting on Scrap (Bee)2 is amazing.
