"Bloom" Quilt Is Completed

This pattern, "Bloom" came from the book, Scrap Basket Beauties by Kim Brackett. There was an impending disaster before it was finished. I took it to quilting to hand-stitch the binding. My entire water bottle spilled on the quilt in my carrying bag. Some of the colours started to bleed onto the white background fabric. I frantically blottedthe stained areas with paper towel to try to get rid of the colour leakage. That seemed to work fairly well. After it dried, I couldn't put the quilt in the washing machine yet because the binding wasn't finished being stitched. Now that it's done, I can wash it with Syntropol and colour catcher sheets.That's the problem with making a quilt with a white background, there is always the risk of the colours running. It seems to only happen to me! Other people make quilts all the time with an abundance of white in them, they don't even pre-wash their fabric like I always do. I guess they are luckier than me. The free-motion quilting is an all-over feathers design done with Isacord thread. The wide quilt backing came from Fabricvilled, I bought an entire bolt of it. It's just about used up already. :O
