When I first really started quilting ;I bought a very pretty piece of fabric. It was exactly the right color, weight ect; but a blend. Every block [a Sampler] that I used that fabric in just never was the size it was supposed to be . The patches were carefully cut, sewed , looked wonderful,but shrank thruoghout with the pressing.
