I have the same concern. I have done 2 4block unit sections thus far... about 28 more "units" to go. Did you end up washing the piece you were working on to see? If so, what are your thoughts? Picture of washed? Thanks so much in advance! Love your choice of fabric... gorgeous! :)

I have searched the Net and here and I did find a suggestion to wash it only about once every 3 years. To any of you making or owning a traditional CW from muslin have you washed it and how well did it hold up to washings. My only alternative is to stop and make this as a table runner and wash it to see!
