I decided to tag this quilt as both a throw and a table covering after seeing how great it looked on our patio table
I had my usual attack of Acute Laundry Anxiety when I put it in the washing machine today. I always wash and dry quilts that I'm going to sell or give away. And I ALWAYS fear that when I open the door of the washing machine all that will remain is a tattered, tragic pile of rags and threads. However, it's completely irrational; as you can see, it's fine after being washed and dried. In fact, like most quilts, it looks even better after being washed. Since I don't usually prewash my fabrics or batting, I like the tiny bit of puckering that happens after the first wash.

That is adorable and looks fantastic on the table.
ReplyDeleteI have the same irrational fears about washing my quilts the first time too!! So far, so good.
Congratulations on a finish and it looks wonderful on the table. I always hold my breath after washing too, thank goodness we have dye catchers.
