I am in the process of doing a quilt for each of my grandchildren and have run into a problem. I ordered the "Working Girls Set 1" for my 8 year-old granddaughter and the package directions have me puzzled.
American Quilt Blocks:

Care Directions (as needed)
Colorfast for hand washing; use water and mild (neutral PH) detergent; an example of a a neutral PH detergent is Ivory.
Air Dry
Iron reverse side of image on low setting.
My question(s):
1. Do these conservative methods of care mean the blocks will fade in a quilt that has to be washed now and then?
2. Is there a way to make sure the blocks do not fade? Can the blocks be treated to make them permanent?
