Those will work, too. I usually use a spray bottle but just wasn't sure about these batiks. This quilt is finished and you can see the pictures on my post titled Celia's Block Party Quilt. Thanks for the positive comments!

Would love to see more pictures of this project you are working on. Looks beautiful and your quilting that you did decide to keep looks very intriguing.

I would imagine washing the quilt would do the same thing...

Wow...but is it just water?

Yes, just water!

I use water all the time... wash clothes work great.
Enjoy

Thanks! Your tip came just in time. I just unquilted two rows of quilting and was getting ready to spritz it. I think I like this idea better.

That's cool! I've always used cotton swabs, but they can get linty.

You could wash the whole quilt as Candace says, but this enables you to fix it as you go.

washing the quilt or using a small wet sponge does the job too and most people have these items in their home already

I use one of these sponge bottles for 'licking' envelopes. I like the straight edge on the sponge and holds plenty of water.
