Thank You!! I want to get started quickly and did not want to wash. The fabric feels great and I do starch and press before cutting and sewing. These are not batiks and they feel heavenly. My daughter is so excited. This is to be her quilt and she has waited so long for her quilt. Other quilts have been pushed to the head of the line and hers is the one that has to wait. I just decided to buy a kit and go for it. When the new catalog came in the mail I knew that quilt on p. 3 was hers. Thanks so much. :))
