So what should I do?
So I've gotten brave and decided that my next quilt project will be a wall hanging for my living room. I bought a quilt kit (Madison Ave from Keepsake quilting) which is all batiks - some of which came in pre-cut strips. After the quilting is finished, I will add buttons to the centers of some of the blocks. Now my question is about washing fabrics. Should I was all of them? None of them? All but the pre-cuts? This will be a wall hanging so it probably won't be washed often, but I have heard lots of complaints on this board about batiks running so now I'm in a quandry. I don't want to ruin my wall hanging! To pre-wash or not to pre-wash? That is the question!
