Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...one man's junk is another man's treasures! That is why we all buy the fabric that appeals to us as individuals. Designers and fabric makers count on that....to sell their fabrics.
No, I do not wash my fabrics. I do use Best Press when pressing the block of the project and Shout Color Catcher in washing the project the first time. I never belonged to 4-H or any clubs until high school...Homemakers, Library Club and Community Saddle Club. College was too busy with classes to belong to anything. Self taught quilter, who has learned a few things from QB and this group to think I have became a better quilter. Thanks everyone.
