I finished a quilt I made for dad yesterday. I took pictures and put them on here, and had decided to take the advice on here and give it to dad early so he has it through his traeatment.

I had carefully prewashed the fabric before I used it so that it wouldn't run, however I forgot to pre wash the backing fabric. It had to be washed as I had used fusible batting and I needed to dissolve the glue. I put it in the washer at 30 deg and it has dyed all the white and cream blocks pink.

I have tried a colour run remover and it has made no difference, so I now have to set to and make another one. Remind me never ever to forget to wash my backing fabric ever ever again.
