I was so afraid to wash this fabric for the backing of my daughter's quilt. She doesn't like pink, flowery, or girlie and I was worried that the apples would turn out pink! The only thing that came out pink are the color catchers.
I threw in 2 color catchers and it worked great!! I washed it on warm wash/cold rinse. Whew!!!

I could wash it again. I left it in the dryer a little longer than I meant to so it's too dry to iron easily.
This is the first time I've used the color catcher so I don't know what's a lot or not. Glad I tried it because I have a bunch of dark red/white fabric for a planned quilt that I will definately use it for.
