I think ironing would probably get any shrimp out as well! LOL!
(Shrimp are the seafood we eat -- like very small lobsters) ------------------------------- Or very large Crawdads! Okay, not a quilting comment, but I was born and raised way back in West Virginia. And everyone there quilted for warmth in the cold winters. |
Thanks for the suggestion of using a salad spinner for the small pieces, and using Shout dryer sheets to prevent bleeding. Tomorrow I'm washing red, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks again everyone. :thumbup: |

Thanks again everyone. :thumbup: you put in the washer to catch dyes instead of them going into your good fabric or clothes. |
Be sure to post the finished project or projects you will make from it all.
And call it your resource center not a stash. How wonderful that find was!!! |
Suffer now. Wash them all now and iron them and be free in the furute when the creative quilt artist is ready.
|
Wow!!!! What a stash of fabrics. It is all so pretty. Lucky you. Have fun with it.
|
I predict you will solve your newbie status really soon. You sure have the fabric for it. Have a lot of fun with your treasures.
|
You Rock! Congrats on an awesome find!

If you want to wash the strips first, then take some thin fabric you won't be using and make a fitted bag to put the strips in, sew it shut and throw in the wash. I would just take some fabric, put a bunch of strips on it, fold it over and sew a seam tightly around the strips. The strips will stay flat and not fray this way.
