| Strippy Nine Patch quilt |
It's too large to get a photo of the whole quilt so here's a second picture with a slightly different view.

Designing these borders was great fun but I really love what Peg chose for quilting. The curved grid on the lights, the feathers in the red.

A view of another corner that hints at the heavy matchstick quilting in the white.

Peg added that same quilting in the red and pink strips The simple orange peel arcs makes a lovely contrast.

Yet another detail shot. Love it. So glad Peg quilted it instead of me.

And then I put it in the wash... And it bled. With two color catchers and Synthrapol. Actually it bled everywhere except onto the white. Go figure. Fortunately I set quilts to dry on the floor for a while after washing. The more it dried, the worse the pink looked. But at least the color hadn't set.
So back in the wash with Synthrapol and color catchers three more times until the red quit bleeding. Then repeated day-long soaks in oxygen (not chlorine) bleach to get the color transfer out. Finally back to normal. Lucky catch.

This is an older quilt so I haven't written much about it. The previous post is here.
