    Thank you for all of the kind words. :) To answer some questions:

    The pattern for this is call "Cheese & Crackers" which is why I title my subject that. :)

    This is a Benatrex fabirc called "Playful Pups"
    http://www.benartex.com/page/index.p...collection=188

    And I DID quilt this myself. Now when I say "I" did it it was with my mega quilter and Qbot, so it wasn't ALL by hand, or even free motioned.

    Also I just got it out of the dryer...it's SO nice and puckery now. I just LOVE that! Which is why I don't prewash my fabric, and my color catchers worked GREAT! No bleeding into the white at all! :P

    That came out great! Did you do all that quilting yourself on a home machine???? If so, I'm even more impressed!

    They are FANTASTIC! I use the ones made from SHOUT. They are by the fabric softener sheets in the laundry aisle normally.

    Basically you throw a sheet in with you wash and it catches any dyes that come out of your clothes. Because I don't prewash my fabric I always use them.

    With all the white in this quilt I didn't want the white to come out pinkish or blue-ish. :)
