Thank you for all the nice comments.
I never even thought of the reds running when washed. I think I will use a color catcher.
If I use it for decoration during the season, hopefully it will not need washing too soon.
Yes, my red was prewashed, but not the jelly roll.

Synthrapol in hot? Anything else? Just wondering since I hold my breath everytime I wash a finished quilt for the first time. I usually do not prewash.
