Hi, the heat setting should take care of any long term fading, but like any dye, paint or surface additive to fabric it would depend on the conditions it is placed in. Direct sun or repeated washings would effect the piece, since I consider this creative art I would handle with care like anyother delicate fabric. These small pieces wouldn't require washing unless something unexpected happened and maybe a wool lite rinse in the tub would do the trick. I have included, beading, buttons and trims on some of the pieces so placing tulle over the piece and running the vac will get out the dust without damaging the quilt.
