Nice quilt, nice colors

I agree. I had a dark blue border on a scrap quilt. I washed it but it still bled when I washed the quilt. I just kept washing until all bleeding quit and now you would not know it had ever bled.

I love your quilt. Beautiful.

Sure is a whole lot of bleeding going on in my sentences.

I would use about 3 color catches and wash in gental cycle and it will be fine....I also use quick cycle sometimes, and winkle free cycle...Don't let it sit in the washer once it's off, get it out fast....I don't prewash my fabric and I have washed all my quilts this way before giving them away..

Your quilt is absolutley beautiful!!!

Love your quilt. As stated, use the colour catchers, they are a life saver. Your quilt might take on a "softer" look once it's washed, if you want it back to "new" looking, starch it (spray starch) and iron it.

I would think it would be better to dry it in a dryer so it isn't wet as long. Wouldn't being wet cause the purple to migrate over to the light fabric? I always throw my quilts into the dryer. It also gives them that vintage puff look.

I have never used color catchers, but I usually test little snips of all the fabrics I am going to use by first soaking them in HOT water, them putting the snips on wet, white muslin. Then I put another piece of muslin on top and let it all dry. Then I pull it apart to see if any dye has transfered to the white muslin. If so, that color goes away. Then I don't have to worry about any bleeding in the wash.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous colors and pattern, thanks for posting the px!

Orus ? soap is great in cold water and gentle cycle... If you see any color just use more water ane wash till the water is clear... and it will be fine....
