I made this quite a few years ago. I hand painted the pictures with fabric paint diluted with shaving cream and heat set. It has never been washed & I don't know what will happen when i do!

Cute quilt! The pictures are great, interesting to see if the colors run or not. Great use of scraps too! :)

Go to the grocery store and buy some "Stain Catcher's" They go in with the wash to catch any colors that run. I would use cool or even cold water too. It is a beauty. It would be a shame to see that green run all over.

I made the baby quilt when I thought there was a possibility that I may one day get a grandchild. Since none of my kids are producing, the quilt has been carefully stored away. If they ever decide to get with the program & I don't have dementia by then, I will remember to use the stain catcher's. Thanks for the tip!
