My quilt didn't make it into the show this year for the same reason. It had alot of white on the front and I sprayed the blue pen off and the hot pink backing bled up through the stitching to the quilt front.I'm devistated and I've learnt a huge lesson and I will never use the blue soluable pen again.<br />I love your new BOM. Look like it would be fun to make...Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598513029636627617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582164910401865727.post-18355768325500322342012-06-23T01:15:13.032+10:002012-06-23T01:15:13.032+10:00Glad you were able to save your quilt!

I...Hate learning those kinds of lessons, but I did! I had red run in a quilt too. Now I never, ever use fabric in a quilt that hasn't been prewashed. It's not worth the risk, nor the agony, shrieks and tears, when it runs! Red and blue prints get special treatment - their own bath in a tub of salt water. It helps a lot!FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582164910401865727.post-7263837870407979892012-06-19T21:56:21.894+10:002012-06-19T21:56:21.894+10:00Oh Chris, seeing the picture of the red bleeding e...Oh Chris, seeing the picture of the red bleeding even made my heart race. I too do not pre-wash my fabrics. Having had a similar experience with a cactus flower red, green and white reproduction quilt, I now only pre-wash my red fabrics. Despite technological advancements, red dyes in most fabrics still bleed. <br /><br />As always, your blocks and quilt are spectacular!!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730612878575654029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582164910401865727.post-83551072541382411322012-06-19T21:33:37.843+10:002012-06-19T21:33:37.843+10:00Oh goodness!
