I had 3 fat quarters packs that I sew all around so it does not fray in the washing machine or dryer but then I thought it would take forever for just one charm pack and if it shrink what,s left of my pieces??
Do your project and when you wash it, throw a shout color catcher in the washer with it. Or if you give the quilt away, give it with a note to do that. A little shrinkage makes the quilt more wonderful! Worrying about what might happen takes the fun of what is happening. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. froggyintexas
