Welcome, Guest

Join us on a new 12-month quilting journey as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sarah Vedeler. Sedona Star is a spectacular medallion quilt that features a beautiful center star surrounded by a charming array of appliqué elements.

Each month we will provide a photo and detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, as well as full-size patterns. Sedona Star finishes at approximately 88” x 88” inches. One version features a total of sixteen different print fabrics, including colorful shades of blue, pink, purple, yellow, red and gold; however, Sarah is providing another alternative color option and instructions for each month as well. Fabric kits for both colorways area available in limited quantities through the TQS Shoppe.

Kathy "as i don't have much space and carpets everywhere but the bathroom and kitchen, i don't spray-starch, but dip the fabric in a starch-water mix (about 5-10x the amount recommended for starching laundry), then hang them on a clothes-rack in the bathtub.... any drips just rinse off, fabrics dry over night, and i have no mess anywhere in the apartment " "

I have washed and starched my fabrics using the method Margo suggested for the Wot RoTTs because her way makes pressing so EASY! That is, wash the fabric, spray it with starch, lay it on a beach towel to dry and then press with steam. I am not experienced in piecing, and starch has made piecing so much easier. My fabrics are dark red background with beige and grey details for a scrappy look so I wanted to make sure I minimized any possibility of running fabrics so I washed them all. After so much work, it would be a shame if the colors were to run.

grammaterry OFFLINE Posts: 5	Oh my goodness. I just am getting a very late start, too and came on to ask the same question. Wash or not? Starch? I am tempted to go through the process, as this is going to be a beautiful quilt when done and years from now I wouldn't want a grandaughter or great grandaughter to have all the colors run when they wash. Is this valid?
