Your rag quilts are so pretty. And, they do not look like any fading happened. I bought some black/white print snuggle flannel and a separate white flannel (probably cozy flannel - it's thicker) and went ahead & cut out the squares without prewashing. Now, I am reading where others have discovered fading and shrinkage after washing. I have not started sewing the squares yet & am seriously considering laundering the cut squares first. Does the snuggle fabric shrink more than the cozy? And, would it be possible to wash the 2nd time after sewing to make the fringe look like fringe without additional shrinkage and possible fading? Any suggestions would be helpful.
