But I am not done with red. There's more to come but it's not presentable yet. So I'll leave you with on last picture, for your information only.
On the last post, I showed the flannel I wanted to use as backing on the I-Spy quilt. It had a good, long soak in warm water "spiked" with Dawn soap. When I emptied the blue tub, look what came out.
Don't have Purple Rain (Prince) but I have purple water in the bathtub! The baseballs remained white because of Dawn. Ask me how I know about Dawn. :^} Now I am not scare of using it in my quilt.
Hope you will join me at Angela's place for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and see red ... projects. :^D
On Sunday, I'll be visiting Cynthia for Oh Scraps! See you then.
Until next time ... sew red.
;^)

I like that buckwheat block. I haven't seen this one made up before. That Dawn is good for so many things.
That is amazing how much color bled ! Good for Dawn! :)
I like those buckwheat blocks alot.
dawn is a miracle - wow amazing how much dye was soaked out.
Wow.... le savon que tu as utilisé à bien fait degorger ton tissu ! C'est bien ainsi tu pourras laver ton quilt sans soucis !
Jolis blocs Chantal et comme toujours, j'aime bien tes couleurs ! :)
Gros bisous
Very insteresting your Red Buckwheat blocks! It is incredible how fabric blend colors, great you have Dawn to help fix them. Happy Sunday!
It's a good thing your soaked that fabric in dawn. Your blocks look great too!!
I've been using the Dawn soaking now, too, since you first wrote about it! So glad it works!
I too love those buckwheat blocks. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
I have a quilt the red border bled terribly when I washed it. When it is warm out, I'm going to soak the whole quilt in dawn water and see if it get the red out. I'm using the quilt anyway, I loved it before but every time I look at her now, I feel sick. I'm hoping Dawn takes the red out. If it works, look for a post about it this spring sometime.
Those buckwheat blocks are meticulous! And yes, Vicki's soaking instructions have saved many a quilt!
Love those buckwheat blocks, never seen them before. Great for scrappy quilts. Wow! Good you soaked that flannel, so much excess color.
