    Nice quilt! The bigger the project is, the shrinkage will be more.

    I generally prewash my fabrics before quilting, as I've had some fabrics that bled even after 2-3 washings. I did not have the color catchers, but I'm going to try to remember the next time I go to the store. I've tried to pull the fabrics out of the dryer while still damp, which makes ironing that much easier. However, I don't think I have ever had a fabric shrink that much though. Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt.

    Yep, all fabric stops at the washing machine first!

    Very nice quilt, and even though you had issues with shrinkage, it turned out great. I love the design, too. Thanks for sharing.
