This are the actual fabric colors of the quilt i was making... it was from a kit that I had recieved... I'm going to try and get my mom to let me buy another off ebay... the blue squares have dashed diamond like shape to it... and littel tiny whit flowers...

I'll know by tomorrow what I was able to save...

Alu, when you have a spill, get the fabric into cold water as soon as possible. Windex has a bleach type solution that saps color right out & the longer it stays in, esp in a plastic bag or close together the more color bleeds out.

The bag it was in was what I was storing it in... for protection... and we see where that lead... haha, my own fault there... I didn't find it till this evening... But i was lucky, I only lost a row... so I'll improvise... change up the center... and stuff... make it into the baby quilt for my sister... hopefully she has a girl... like the doctor said she will! I'll get one of those already made quilt blocks and add the border... cause I'm pressed for time this next month I can really only complete the one i have now... after I wash it...

I had no idea Windex could do that.

It only destroyed the one row, the rest I can get in the wash... so what I'm going to do is just make two quilted pillow cases and stash the scraps for later use.

Been there. Had a pair of cotton pants hanging on bathroom towel rack, needed to clean glass covered pictures hanging above the towel rack so I sprayed them with Windex. Later found that the Windex spray had gotten on the pants and left white spots. Now I'm very careful whenever I use any kind of spray, never know what kind of damage it can do. May in Jersey
