Block 1

Block 1

Thanks for inviting me to join!

Here's my completed block 1.  I can see red halos around the flowers and I'm surprised.  I rinsed it out to remove markings before I pressed it, so that my be the problem.  I've always just waited till the quilt was finished and tossed it in the machine without a problem.  I'll try re-washing it and hope that works.  Otherwise, I'll redo the block.  The rest of my reds are in the washer with Retayne as I type.

Block 2 is about half done.

  1. Yay! Mary! I love it, although I can see a little bit of red too.:(
    The Jo Morton stripe looks fantastic. I have some with my BTCT fabric but wasn't sure how it would look as a leaf!! Now I know it will look terrific!

  2. Well, I can't see the red halos from my screen, but I would try soaking this block in Synthrapol and one of those dye catchers. It's a good idea to wash the rest of your reds in Retayne though. I love your block. The green stripe gives a lot of movement. Love it.
