Cheshire Cat

I have never quilted with flannel.

I'm making a baby quilt in reds, blacks and whites.

I decided I'd better prewash because I know reds are real bad about bleeding. I rinsed all the other fabrics by hand and nothing bled.

I have one solid dark red fabric. I rinsed and rinsed in a bowl and it just wouldn't stop bleeding. I added soap and still no change, it wasn't even lightening. I decided to squirt in some Spray and Wash. WAH LAH! No more bleeding! It just stopped!

I know lots of people who aren't babies who would love your quilt!
For those of you with asthma, spray and wash really triggers mine. Inventive idea, though.

white vinegar is used to set tie dye shirts, so if I have something that bleeds alot, I put some white vinegar in the water and that stops it as well.
