Thanks everyone. Helou, my catchers came out pale blue so I'm guessing there may still be some bleed left in the fabrics. Good idea ManiacQuilter2, I'll give my daughter a box of colour catchers with the quilt...... Yikes, I thought cutting out all my pieces was going to be scary..ha! This is way scarier for me! Can't wait to run back to my usual, trusty earth colours!!!
