If I'd known about color catchers a few years ago, I may not be a quilter today!
I had a quilted spread that I had bought and when I took it to the cleaners to wash for me, the colors bled. I don't think the cleaners knew it, and I had no idea what to do when I removed it from the cleaner's bag. Didn't take it back to the cleaners, I returned it to the store I'd bought it from. Couldn't find another quilt with the right colors, so I had to make one. The beginning . . .
