PLEASE wash the reds from Connecting Threads!!!! I bought some SNOW FUN fabric last year and since I am not a pre-washer I went ahead and made the quilt for my hubby. It was a well-loved and often used quilt that soon needed washing. I washed it on cold and was horrified that the red dye ran. I washed four more times without it getting dried in between washing and the dye eventually came out.
PLEASE wash the reds!!
Here's the quilt btw:
