Two pieces still had running colors. So sad, but still can use most of it.
bummer. :( I always thought fabrics like Moda wouldn't run no matter what. apparently not. Maybe it was because they were so stuck together and sitting for so long. In a washer, they aren't mashed together and it's only in the water for a few minutes.
