Your quilt turned out so nice; I just love the fabric.<br><br>To answer your question, I don't wash anything anymore. Since Shout came out with Color Catchers I have even stopped washing my batiks (yikes). I buy good quality fabric and have not had any problems at all. I make a lot of quilts and quilt alot for others and I'm not seeing as much pre-wash as before. If I think there might be a bleeding problem I throw a few extra Color Catchers in the wash and all is good. I keep using the CC until they are full of color and then when I am done if they are a pretty color I use them in "artsy" stuff. I feel it is a win-win situation and gives me more time to quilt (ha). But really it is all about your comfort level; if you want to pre-wash and iron then you go girl!<br><br>Sharon<br><br>Ps: what a wonderful giveaway!Poppy Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07959359271380276306noreply@blogger.com
