Watercolour Star
 
1 Attachment(s)
I started this quilt back in September, with the vague thought that I wanted to make a watercolour quilt. Not being one to conform to patterns, I played around with various arrangements on my wall and ended up with this. Quilt is done, quilted, and bound - and now just needs to survive it's first trip through the washer to remove the pencil marks. Think happy, non-bleeding thoughts for me :)

Use color catchers or Retayne to prevent color runs. Your quilt is absolutely great! Love its shaded feature. Thanks for sharing.

If she has a front loading washing machine, Retayne won't work, as the machine has to be filled with hot water with the Retayne...and front loaders don't work that way. At least, mine doesn't.

I love it! Where did you get the pattern? I would love to make one or teo or three of these. Could you send me the info pleasse?:cool:

Lori S 06-07-2012 09:03 AM

It is just beautiful. Love the design! You did beautiful work. Wash it with Synthropol to prevent any bleeding from coloring the white... and do not use a High efficeincy ( low water) washer! If there is a bleeder .. using a low water washer will make a concentrated solution of the dye that is shed.

Wonderful job. another designer in the making. Great job.
