Karen, you have a tone of replies and honestly I have not read them all. I think your fabric looks very similar to batik. I am wondering if it won't be just fine cut up. It may even give your quilt more dimension. Just a thought. Good luck. Let us know how this turns out. Yolanda Wood River

I am wondering if you put a dryer sheet in with your fabric, and if you did you should be able to remove those spots. That can happen with dryer sheets. I used shout on a shirt I had and it came out. Just a gentle rub.

I just had some marks on a red piece even though I use the Shout Color Catchers. So back in the wash it went with just a small amount of detergent - just 2-3 TBSP. And the dark spots came out- luck??? So run it back through the wash and then use it- As quilters we look for tonals all the time, don't we? I am sure when you are done with it that we will all think it is beautiful. And if you don't remind us about the fabric, we may not notice at all.

I would favor using the fabric. So many of today's ready-made clothing has variations in the colors that it might be indicative of the fabric when you bought it. A possibility? Anyway, I think you should use it and not think worry about it. Then after it's completed, give it a gentle wash again for your finished product.

You now have a unique fabric; unrivaled by any other. Use it as is & FROG will let it all work out. As many on this site have said to me & many others, sometimes mistakes turn out soooooo well! Try a block & see-can't hurt anything.
