Default doomed blocks

I learned long ago that when blocks get discolored I help. That is to say I make a large pot of tea and put the blocks in the tea. This will give the fabric a tint that will bring all the colors together. My grandmother did this all the time as the feedsacks, even with the same fabric pattern would be a little off. The tea die brought them all together.
Any quuestions PM me
