1 more thing, alot of my "fruity or vege" fabric is not washed, I could only get some of it in FQ's or 1/2 yds. I am aware of that and I figure when someone gets my fabric and decides what to do with it there is no way you can wash every little bit to go with it. After I finish putting it together and quilting etc. then when I wash it, I just add a color catcher or 2 and have never ever had any problem, even white white, red, blue....The only time I have been addiment on washing is batiks, they are a totally different story.
