guess I do a lot of experimenting, but am going to rinse my quilt, then dry it because I like that washed look.....that doesn't mean it will work, but I'm going to try it. People who use silks and other fussy fabrics probably wouldn't ever put their piece in water. As for the fabric marker, guess you'll have to read what the manufacturer says. If you color with them and don't ever wash it, it should be fine. I really think any technique we use within the guidelines of this swap will be fine.(size and machine quilted). I look at this swap as being very free spirited....can't wait to see everyone's creative work.
