I have definitely read NOT to somewhere. And of course I have also read YOU MUST. Quilters, huh?! I washed because of the indigo colours - I wasn't going to find out about them running after I finished the quilt.<br /><br />Quilting wise, I was planning an uber-simple plan of quilting in the ditch around the big squares/rows. So there would be a six inch gap between quilting lines, and only five lines of quilting altogether. Shocking, I know. No free motion quilting at all. But I want to keep it Very simple, so the fabrics are the stars. I love Japanese prints.<br /><br />The other Westie sneaked into my sewing room and pooped on this quilt. So good thing I did prewash, as I had to soak it to get the green (!) marks out. The other Westie may be waiting a while before I do nice things like feature HER on the internests!!ToniJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714457210530437325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968572130447212469.post-40042653422576729472012-03-15T22:42:11.059-07:002012-03-15T22:42:11.059-07:00I have been reading a book on wabi-sabi and yearni...I have been reading a book on wabi-sabi and yearning for a more wabi sabi home.

I've used charm packs, but have never washed the fabric! I now have a note taped to the charm packs - WASH FABRICS FIRST! Excellent tip. What do you have planned for your quilting?<br /><br />Shinty looks like a sweatpea! Can't wait to see the other Westie!kingman quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01958299513719763565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968572130447212469.post-28411821146525396832012-03-15T13:26:10.891-07:002012-03-15T13:26:10.891-07:00I love Westies!
