update on string quilt and questios
As I was reading the replies to my string quilt post. I suddenly realized I did something bad. One of the tuts I looked at said string quilts was a good place to use up fabrics that weren't 100 % cotton. So I cut up some cool mismatched napkins. I just realized the napkins have been washed many times but none of the other fabric has! What will happen? There are 5 of the 50 plus squares with the napkins in them

the cottons might shrink a bit , the napkins won't but that would be the same if you used any other non cotton fabric mixed with unwashed cottons- I would think it will be fine :) Think of it as adding character :thumbup:
|
it'll be fine... the different contents and sizes will help balance one another ... it's a real good place to use up all that 'stuff' you're not quite sure what to do with it...

Thanks Ladies, I like the way you think!!
|
Don't worry, it will just add more interest to the finished quilt.
|
It'll look great !!
|
was it foundation pieced? if so, no worries at all. Even if not, there is so much holding each piece together that it should not be a problem. Definitely, not bad. so relax. it's fine.

Thanks again. Yes it is foundation. What fun that is and it looks so nice even with all the mixed up colors
