I'm ready to start working on a lap quilt for my father-in-law. I picked up a few more "garnets" yesterday at Knit One Quilt Too and Just Quilts. I'm hoping I have enough fabric to make a 60 x 75" Bento Box quilt.
I've gotten out of the habit of pre-washing fabric, but I think it is necessary in this case. This quilt will be washed a lot, so I want to
make sure the reds don't run. This fabric is in the washer with the
9-Patch Swing quilt and two color catchers. I'll be cutting up a storm this afternoon!
I think color catchers are one og the worlds best inventions.
ReplyDeleteLove those Garnets!

Bento box is such a great little pattern!
ReplyDeleteGood call, washing all those reds first. Have fun cutting - not my favorite step :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful fabrics and It is going to be a gorgeous quilt with the color combination.

Hey! Bento Box is the quilt I'm working on, too! However, I no longer have all of the necessary equipment for quilt making because I was making it at a friends house and she is too busy nowadays to work on quilts...
ReplyDeletelovely selection of fabric, re colour catchers only discovered them this year, how amazing they are can`t work out how they work but they certainly do
ReplyDeleteGuess I need to get some color catchers! Love the deeper reds. Glad someone was picky.
