Another option for preventing any bleeding from dyes is RETAYNE. Add that to your wash and you should be safe.
Should you have some bleeding after you wash a quilt, then you would use SYNTHROPOL with a few colour catchers for added power.
I NEVER wash quilts for first time without color catchers. They have saved many a quilt that would otherwise have been ruined. Oh yes, I do love your quilt. The colors are very eye appealing.
Your quilt looks great! I need to look for color catchers next time I'm at Walmart.
Nice quilt...I just used color catchers on a black, dark blue, light blue quilt. Although I had prewashed all the fabric, the color catcher came out a nice shade of gray. I have a box to use for quilts..I would hate to get to the final stage of quilting and have all the hard work destroyed just by washing. I am under the assumption that you don't have to use them each time you wash the quilt, right?
I love the color catchers and your quilt! I used them for a summer in the park quilt with a white background. The other colors were so bright I didn't want to take any chances that they would bleed on the white. Thankfully ...the color catchers did their job well. No bleeding on the white. We love color catchers.....:D
Love your quilt! I have never used color catchers in my 20+ years of quilting, but am giving some thought to hunting them down. I do tend to prewash everything which should take care of any bleeding. But now that I'm starting to use some precuts, those color catchers would be a good idea.
