Warm Wishes Quilt
I finally have this quilt finished with the help of you girls on this board. I have never had so much trouble with a quilt before.
First I forgot to wash the brown fabric and had to rip all of that fabric out. So many said to just quilt it heavy,I was a little worried about this as it was my first quilt that I was getting paid for. I made up a nine patch with left over blocks I put the brown fabric all around the dinosaur fabric, quilted it really heavy and then washed it in warm water and dried it on low heat,
Oh my goodness when I took it out of the dryer the dinosaur fabric looked like there was a ball under it,it puffed up that much. The brown fabric shrunk so bad, the fabric was country classic from JoAnn's and I have used this kind of fabric before but never had any trouble like this. I am just glad that I tried a sample quilt to wash and dry before I sent it on it's way.
I don't know if this happened because all of the other fabric except for the brown fabric had been washed and dried before using it. I have made quilts before with all unwashed fabric and never had a problem like this. I guess I will just make sure from now on that all the fabric in a quilts I make has been either washed or not,
So glad that it is done and I can give it to my friend, I also make a pillow case to go with the quilt. I think it can out ok I am just so happy to get this one done. Thanks again for all your help on this quilt, you girls and guys are great!
Thanks for looking.
