I want to be able to machine wash my quilt.

Any suggestions?

I really like the EQ printables. Just finished a memory quilt made with pictures and they turned out great. Of course, it's not something that will be washed a lot, but I wouldn't be afraid to wash it once in awhile.

Does anyone have any objections if I send out a few 9x22s? I am trying to use my fabric-I have found a few bad areas (must have been a reminant) so I would like to avoid using those areas-one is a 1 1/2" cut into the fabric and the other is a tear/pull on the threads. I have limited fabric of the pansies. The other piece was already cut 10x30, so I'd like to at least get 1 F8 out of that piece. So if anybody needs the 11X18 size to cut out a certain pattern piece let me know. I hope only to use a few 9X22s and mainly 11X18. Thanks for letting me know. :?

I am hoping to "creatively" cut as many F8 as possible out of the fabric. This wouldn't be as much of a issue if
I hadn't bought this material 5 or more years ago :-D I could just run out and buy more to cover the difference. As it is I've got 3 similiar pansy fabrics and a just plain different pansy fabric so I'm hoping that I can get all pieces for the cut.

Exactly....I mean I won't know what I want to do with the fabric until I see it anyway.

I use Printed Treasures for the sew on printable fabric.. I tried several and the Tailor computer printer fabric sheets will wash right out, even a drop of water will make it bleed. I have made several tee shirt quilts also memory quilts for family. The Printed Treasures is machine washable is cool water.

The rest of my fabric arrived today! Woo hoo! It's in the washing machine as we speak, along with my fabric for the Funky Chicken block swap. :thumbup:

The remaining 9 F8's will go out in the morning. All the others went out this morning. :)

Now I gotta scramble (pun intended! he he) to finish up my Funky Chicken and egg blocks before the Boomerang F8's start coming in! :shock: :lol:
