I finished quilting my butterfly Irish Chain quilt yesterday. The body of the quilt looked great with small stiples around the butterflies. I tried to do feathers on the borders, not so great! I thought Karen's advice about washing and drying to make crinkles around the stitching would help. It didn't help the feathers, and the quilt shrunk about 6" in length! Before washing, it covered the mattress. After washing, not so much! Darn! I made this quilt especially for this daybed, and it will have to do, but I was not expecting this much shrinkage.
