Ironing anything is not a job I am crazy about. I had about 20 yards I had to wash and iron yesteday because the fabric was questionable to me. I don't alway wash my fabric but I have learned that batiks and Kona solids will bleed and I want them taken care of before I start cutting my pieces for a quilt. I did let these dry too long, yesterday, before I started to iron. They get ironed after washing and drying and again before I cut.
