Thank you for sharing. I starched some pieces of my last quilt. The fabric is white/off-white pattern (background of the blocks). I bought some more of the same fabric for the borders and saw the starch had discolored the fabric!
I do not like the smell of it either. I can't wait to get it one and wash it, and the ironing board.
I liked the way it made the pieces easier to square up but will not use starch again. I had downloaded a recipe to make some. I think I'll just use steam and pins.
