Actually, I improvised...I bought the book "Even more..Quilts for Baby" by Ursula Reikes - and the pattern is called "Pinwheel," however, there was something missing.. and so I decided that sashing and cornerstones would really make my quilt "POP" and it really did.
Me too! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Check your LQS for synthrapol. It is a detergent used in the wash-out of hand dyed fabrics. It keeps loose dye particles of dye in suspension so they don't stain other areas of the fabric. It can also be order online here,

Gday, what a beautiful first Quilt, and such a big one too, you have done a wonderful job.
Can someone explain what a colour catcher is, never heard of this before, i sometimes wash my fabrics, not all the time though, sew still yet to experience any shrinkage after putting a quilt together. Penny :)

Some have said that the color catchers don't work well in the front loader washers. With something like this, would it be taken to a laundromat? It doesn't seem a top loader would be big enough for most quilts.
p.s. It's a beautiful quilt!
