Too close for comfort!
I just finished a large flannel quilt in time for Father's Day that I started in Dec for a Jan birthday. Simple block pattern, even cross stitched a label for the back and pillow cover/storage. It turned out great and I was more pleased than usual. Most of the fabric was from Fabric Depot so was good quality but the backing was a new sheet and a brand I was confident with. I prewashed it and probably would not have washed it a second time except for the color. If it's going to bleed, it's probably going to be red so I did a little test...uh oh! I got some color catchers and put 3 in and turned the washer on. It came out "okay" except for the thread lines on the lighter fabrics and the label which is pretty much pink. I only dried it about 3/4 in the dryer and then hung it up. Do you think if I wash it again, it will take out more of the bleeding?
