Sorry about the flooded basement. I love your quilt! I can't believe how accurately you piece the front and back so that the geometric quilting works perfectly with both sides. Very nice work!

I'm sure happy about that!

Some of the fabrics bled onto other fabrics. I'm trying to figure out how to get that out. Does the color catcher (or whatever it's called) pull out that dye? When I'm doing regular laundry and something bleeds I just rewash the discolored items and the second washing takes it all out. A quilt my mom made for me was white with red stars that bled and I just rewashed it immediately and it all came out. However, this mess has been sitting there for over a week. I'm still hoping that's all I have to do. Cross your fingers for me!

I always like seeing everyone's quilts in their posts so I'll include these pictures of one of the quilts I just finished for my almost 2 yr old grandson. Front and Back.
