When I washed the finished quilt “Happy,” which had been dragged around for six years while being made, I put in 6 color catcher cloths–even though all the fabrics were washed when they came into the house.
Hmmm….
Enough said, right?
But, maybe I’ll add that I also washed another quilt, I also added color catchers to the wash.
And…hmmmm…
The reds did run a bit.
I’ll always use them for a quilt now…
