I love your quilt.

used to be that when you used paints on fabric, that you sprayed with white vinegar before ironing, that seemed to set the paint permanently

My husband and I used to have a business of fabric painting on ties and tee shirts. We used Delta Fabric Dyes, and after we ironed them (used a paper towel between iron and paint, we had no problem. My husband has a shirt I painted him in 1981 that the paint is still perfect on it even though it has been in the washing machine and dryer probably 100 times. I don't think they even make Delta Fabric Dyes any more, all I've seen recently are Delta Ceramcoat Acrylics, but I haven't really looked for them.

This is probably the problem. Paint tends to sit on top of the fibers and when washing and drying you run the risk of it rubbing off somewhat. I now use the white Tsukineko ink instead of paint.

I also think you are washing it to soon after painting. The paint is set but not cured all the way through.
