Well, after I have thought about it overnight and let my color catchers on wash #12 dry out.. I with fresh eyes have seen that they are basically white....so now...what to do, use the fabric and trust it with cold washes and put it on my quilt? or just take it back...or try to anyway?? It sucks because I have put so much work and stress into it and time and water $(i have to pay for my water)...I am now torn on whether it is safe to use this fabric or not...here is what I have put this fabric through...

*2 hot washes with Retayne treatments in both
*10 cold washes with shout color catchers, 2 salt treatments, 2 vinegar treatments
*2 dries
The color catchers appear to be white and the scrap t-shirts that were white that I threw in there with the fabric appear to be still white as well....

Would you still use this fabric?? Yes? No?
Thanks
