I definitely think you should give it to the baby as you intended. <br /><br />I have had great luck using Spray 'N Wash's Stain Stick to get everything from bleeding fabric dyes to blue ink marks off of white fabric. Once you give it another wash, you'll have a better idea of whether the bearding is going to be a life long issue for the quilt.Curly Anna Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476737199001962607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780690398277149652.post-21310875398681459792013-03-08T23:36:19.384+01:002013-03-08T23:36:19.384+01:00Came across your blog link-up on crazy mom quilts ...Came across your blog link-up on crazy mom quilts blog - Finish it Friday - love the quilt and think it is such a cool aesthetic for a baby. I have been eyeing the dogwood pattern by Elizabeth Hartmann for a while as well, but haven't had the right project for it yet. The Dogwood pattern does look great on open space like in your quilt.

Washing again with OxyClean might work, or washing it again with a color catcher in there. My only other suggestion is a bleach pen since it bled onto the white white fabric. I would apply it carefully and wash immediately. <br /><br />Are you sure the bearding is from the batting and not the back? I have had a terrible time with certain flannels bearding, especially if they are not quilt shop quality fabrics. <br /><br />I still think you can give it to them, regardless of the small issues. It is really cute!Quiltin Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680512906241219875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780690398277149652.post-22899291902264810582013-03-08T22:16:59.233+01:002013-03-08T22:16:59.233+01:00Those blocks made a wonderful quilt.

About your two problems -...Great quilt, Christine! About your two problems - try washing it again, with oxyclean and cold water, to remove the green bleeding. (If washing it doesn't help, try soaking it in oxyclean.) Another wash might help with the bearding, too, and if it does, a couple more runs in the wash might eliminate it completely. That's all I've got! And you might try showing it to a non-quilting friend to see if they notice the bearding - if they don't, then I think it's ok to give to your friend's baby. We tend to magnify our work's shortcomings in our own minds - witness my blog header! No one else even notice the phone pole!<br /><br />Whoop Whoop!!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780690398277149652.post-6381265525053759352013-03-08T03:27:27.020+01:002013-03-08T03:27:27.020+01:00Well how adorable is that!?Well how adorable is that!?Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927477648248371423noreply@blogger.com
