A Finish After 3 Washes

     I spent a couple of days doing free-motion quilting on my modern star comfort quilt for my church group.  I love quilting free-form feathers so quilted them in the background.  Here are couple of photos after the first stage of quilting. 

Next I decided to echo and quilt the background with a lighter thread to show off the feathers more. 

Here is the whole quilt finished.

      After quilting, I put it in the wash.  After the first wash, I noticed some dye runs onto the background so I put it in again with a Color Catcher sheet and Oxi Clean.  I always prewash my fabric; however, for donated fabric sometimes fabric doesn’t get prewashed. There was still excess dye a good bit excess dye after the 2^nd wash so I put the quilt in the wash again with another Color Catcher sheet and Oxi Clean to soak.  This photo shows the CC sheet from the 2^nd and 3^rd washes. 

I hope that will be enough. 

Enjoy some time sewing or quilting.
