My post #138, I mentioned a scrolly black fabric. It was part of the Focus Fabric Fruit bundle mentioned over in the multi BOM thread. I laundered separately several fabrics in various colors, then was going to dry them all together. I laid the scrolly black on a sweet solid apricot. When I picked it up, the apricot was speckled. So sad. I ended up drying the color families by themselves.
I'd had 2 of the Fruit FQ bundles, and found the 2nd scrolly black FQ. O. Dread. I'm using moda black with the fruit, and I'd selected a gridded black for Optimism #2. The double FQ bundle also had a black spotted white. So I had 4 different blacks to wash & dry. I washed them this morning. Got a cotton poly knit rag, wet it, laid all the blacks on it. Nothing. Wet the edge of the apricot (still in laundry room) laid the scrolly black, and the gridded black on the selvedge of the apricot. Nothing. Hmmm? What? dried all 4 pieces. The original scrolly black was also still in laundry. I'd ordered retayne. It was 2 FQ bundles, perhaps the fabrics, appearing identical actually aren't. I wet the miscreat scrolly black in the bath sink, and it ran gray. Jeepers. Just goes to show, you never know what'll happen. Now that I have functioning blacks, I can get back to cutting out Optimism #1.
