Thanks to all of you! I presented it today and she cried! So did I! It makes me feel really good to know that I can do something little that can help make a difference in the lives of so many. This organization gives a meal to whomever shows up, no questions asked, every Saturday.

I LOVE it! And great save. ;)

Beautiful scrappy, They will be so thrilled with it. I'll pray that it will bring in lots for the charity. I really love how you quilted it.

Oh that is a gorgeous quilt! Just beautiful! Sorry for your troubles. Good information for me to know --thank you for sharing. I wrote Oxy10 gel down. Thanks again.

OMG that's gorgeous!!! I'm so sorry you had such a fright, but thank heavens it all came out well in the end

It turned out beautifully, so glad you were able to remove all the stains, I would have been frantic. Love your quilt and quilting.

Jacob's Ladder makes such a beautiful scrappy quilt. Yours is beautiful and I know it will bring a lot of money for the raffle. Thank you for sharing your back story and how you solved the problem. We all benefit from learning how others deal with these near catastrophes. We should all be careful of those red fabrics.

Very pretty. I had the same experience with a quilt for my grandson. It is soooooo frustrating.

Your quilt is beautiful - Love the colors, pattern and your quilting! Oh my I would have cried to think it might be ruined. Will have to remember your rescue operation, LOL.

So glad you avoided a catastrophe because that is a beautiful quilt.

luv it!!! JL is another on my bucket list.....

This is a beautiful quilt!! Great job! It's a good idea for me to do something with my overflowing scrap box.

Beautiful quilt, but I have a question - did you use detergent either time when you washed the quilt with the 4 color catchers?

Love that pattern and I like the way you did it, scappy!! It should fetch a good amount for the charity. BTW I really like the quilting.

Yes, I used detergent both times.

Great job I'm glad you stuck with it !!! I never would of thought to use color catchers, what a great idea:D

You sure did create a beauty. Hope your quilt reaps the reward. It is so pretty and I love the pattern. Just cannot get any better than those scrappy quilts. :)

Great quilt.

Love scrappy quilts, and yours is beautiful!

very nice fabric

I really like scrappy quilts and this one is fabulous - glad you were able to save it!

The quilt and quilting is BEAUTIFUL!!! I have made note of what you used for the running colors....GREAT save!!

An absolutely gorgeous quilt - love the scrappy look! And I am so glad you were able to rescue it.

Sorry you had such a bleeding problem with your quilt, that's why I almost always wash my fabric before using it for quilts. However, you managed to avert a disaster and I'm glad it worked out for you. I love the Jacob's Ladder block, as I think it makes for beautiful quilts, table runners, etc., etc. I'm glad that you were able to save the quilt, as it's beautiful. I hope it makes them a lot of money.

Hope they raise a lot of money with your quilt, I love the quilting on it and great save on the running red fabric!

I love scrap quilts. What an exceptional one.

Just made a scrappy Jacob's Ladder block for a swap I am in. Nice to see how it lays out in a quilt. Great quilt design for a scrappy quilt. It has a really nice look.

It's a beautiful quilt, I'm so glad that the excess color came out. You did a great job on both the quilt and the quilting - I hope that it raises lots of money... I'd buy tickets if you were local.

Thanks for the tip for the color issues. Your quilt looks wonderful.

Oh, that's gorgeous. I would have been sick too, glad it all came out in the wash.

Beautiful quilt!!! So glad everything turned out alright.

That is one beautiful scrappy quilt! Bless your heart for the charity quilt... !

The story about your close call had me on the edge of my seat. Glad it turned out because your quilt is wonderful. I hope there are many bids on your beautiful work of art.

A very pretty scrappy! Glad you got the stain thing figured out~ :)

Beautiful quilt. So glad the stains came out!

Beautiful quilt....

The quilt is just beautiful. I hope it makes a lot of money.

One of the prettiest JL's I've seen
