Yeah, I thought about doing that Izy, but I wanted to recreate the full washin' process!!! (Actually I'm lying, I just didn't think! Flew into a panic and chucked the little bleeder in the machine!!!)

Now I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs, kids in bed, wondering if I dare risk making another block in case it shrinks!

No probs, Izy, actually, I don't think I did prewash it...I seem to remember when it arrived, I was so disgusted it wasn't what I'd expected, I just chucked it in the cupboard... the quilting gods are smiling on me today!
