Here's the back:
This quilt has already been washed at least once. It is a twin sized quilt. I thought 4 color catchers would be overkill, but they aren't expensive,and I had 2 boxes of them so I threw in 11. This is what they looked like:
It is obvious from the pinky purple color that it wasn't just the reds in this quilt that ran. The blues don't seem to be colorfast either! I expect this from batiks but not for regular quilt-shop quilty fabric. The good news is the excess color is on the color catchers not on the quilt. But if I had known so much color was going to bleed, I would have added a few more.
How many color catchers do you need? More than you think!
