Used Color Catchers for the first time

[RiverMomm]

Wow, I am loving Color Catchers! I was worried about the dark brown fabric that I used for the back and part of the border. I didn't prewash as it was part of a quilt with pre-cuts. I don't really know how to do that-since you can't prewash pre-cuts, does that mean I shouldn't prewash the other fabric (that way it all sort of shrinks at the same rate).

The color catchers came out all dark and the quilt came out of the dryer great! It was worth the side trip to a local store when I drove down to NY.

Love this quilt.... especially the blocks on the back.... i love using up all i have for one project... instead of letting things pile up and create MORE SCRAPS....Good info about the color catchers.... thanks for sharing...

First of all....Love love LOVE this quilt! The back is awesome! I really need to try this pattern. Secondly, I've also used the color catchers. My daughter thinks it's a gimmick, I am a TRUE believer since I've had the same thing happen - color catcher comes out with dark dye and the quilt is fine. PHEW! I don't have an answer for your prewash question (sorry), but really wanted to love on your quilt some! Nice job!

Very beautiful quilt. I will be buying some color catchers the next trip to the store. I really need to use them when I wash my Texas wall hanging with it's red, white and blue fabric.

River mom, I love your quilt! What a great idea to put dark brown on the back. Unfortunately can't find color catchers where i live in canada but managed to grab some in the US.. I was able to find here a small bottle of a clear liquid called "retayne " " which my locsl quilt shop sells and they say works... Has anyone ever used it? Happy Thursday everyone!

Very nice quilt! I haven't tried the Color Catchers yet but will have to try them on a quilt with dark colors. Thanks for the info.
