You know what this makes me think of? How many quilts have I given away without washing them? 30? Anyway, I never thought to ask any of the people if the fabric on the quilts bled. Now I'm worried that I gave people quilts that looked awful after they washed them. OMG!!! No one has said anything, but they probably wouldn't want to hurt my feelings. I never wash my fabric. I think I will wash the bold and dark fabrics for now on. Thanks for the picture. That said enough to me to want to start washing my dark fabrics.
