Forgot to share what I am sure will make some of you laugh out loud. Because I never prewash and decided to try this time - each piece of fabric I use is first measured and I allow for shrinkage, washed and ironed - remeasured and cut to size needed. So it is slow going. I do not want a bunch of prewashed fabric mixed in with my not washed fabric so....... Imagine I need one piece 1 1/2 " by 20" - I measure, cut and wash, dry and iron, measure and cut each and every time... LOL This quilt is a test to see if prewashing is in my future or not.
