also a quilt i'd made turned into a multi-color camouflage during the first wash.
most of the time now i prewash before i put new fabrics away. it's a pain in the sitter but i don't worry about rub-off or bleeding anymore.
never had either of those problems when i shopped exclusively discount fabrics.
ironic. lol
