Ha! If I had known how to get bleeds out of a quilt, I may never have started quilting!
I had a purchased quilt that I really liked (especially the colors). I took it to the laundry to have it washed because of its size. It bled. I didn't know what to do (pre-dating Google) and couldn't find another one to purchase with the colors I wanted. I had to make one myself to get the right colors. The rest is history. LOL
Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the topic. Dawn is good for many, many things!
