As for prewashing, I never do it. Fabrics nowadays don't bleed like they used to, and I've never had a problem. If I have a quilt with lots of super bold colors against a ton of white, I will use a few color catcher sheets in the first wash or two. You can find those on the laundry aisle, and they absorb any excess dye. I never wash and dry my quilts until they are completely finished. Hope this helps!<br /><br />:) KellyKelly @ My Quilt Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383511246261347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-35005468086266836462015-08-03T16:29:16.623-05:002015-08-03T16:29:16.623-05:00The analogy of the skirts is perfect!

I have a couple more years and then I want to be building quilts and sewing full time. <br />Question: I'm grappling with what seems to be a 50/50 consensus on prewashing quilting fabric. What are your thoughts? My rule is if it's a fat quarter or more, I prewash. However, I'm liking the use of jelly rolls but despise the charm packs. LOL. With something like the jelly roll , layer cake , or turnover should I pre wash the quilt top when I'm done or should I construct the entire quilt and then wash it? <br />I'm infatuated with your infatuation. <br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700923737594078258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-29554602738832491812015-08-03T15:25:43.381-05:002015-08-03T15:25:43.381-05:00A great design, really showcases the fabrics.
