the quilt that shrunk 10"
 

the back story, I bought 118" wide backing fabric, washed it and it was 108" I never thought to measure it first I just could not believe that it shrunk that much so I bought more, measured it, sure enough it was really 118". So I layered my 108" top with it on the frame, after quilting it measured 105" which was appropriate, I just took it out of the wash and the quilt measures 98". It's just normally crinkled for cotton batting, nothing excessive so all's well that ends well! OH yeah, when I evened up one end I cut it about 5" wide, soaked and spun it, when it dried I ironed it and it was 108". So here's the spread, my husband wanted it big enough to hide all the stuff I store under his bed!

Beautiful!! I love Log Cabin. Yep, that is why I pre-wash everything so if it's going to shrink, it will shrink before I put it in a quilt.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!

Your quilt is gorgeous and I like that it drapes down to the floor. I'm also a pre-washer - launder fabric as it comes in the door.

It's a gorgeous quilt.

Beautiful quilt but holy cow that is a lot of shrinkage!

It's a very pretty quilt - the log cabin is so nice! I love that it is big - I always make mine big - not to necessarily cover the "junk" under the bed, but to stay covered when my hubby wants more quilt - there is plenty left to keep warm. lol

Terrific scrappy log cabin! Great quilting as well! :)
