Christmas Red.....

I have a small table topper kit that I bought at the end of the season. The colors in it are black, Christmas Red, Christmas green, 2 creams and one gold.
Can I wait and wash this with color catchers after I'm finished or is that too risky?
If I wash them before I make the topper should I wash each fabric with color catchers?
TIA

I haven't prewashed my fabric either. I'm just wondering with the red if I should prewash.
The topper should come out to 26x26. So it's not that much fabric, but I don't want to ruin it because of the red running.
Thanks ladies

Sometimes I prewash, sometimes I don't. I never do when it's a kit, tho, because I'm afraid the fabrics will shrink & I won't have enough since kits usually are pretty stingy with their fabric. Just my opinion...

I always pre-wash fabrics. I have only made a quilt and another from the scraps, they were from a kit. I didn't pre-wash it, there was a very generous amount of fabrics. I for sure would at the least was gently in warm water to see if the red will bleed.

Crud....you're right. I shouldn't prewash due to it being a kit and an old one at that. I wouldn't be able to remotely replace the fabric until maybe the summer.
Thanks ladies...I'll probably start with it tomorrow night.
