Pinwheel Table Topper

I got a few things done...this being one of them. 

Holy Schmoly!   That red is red!
I was a bit worried about it bleeding
onto the light backing, so
I used a color catcher sheet...
and no bleeding!

I have another table runner all put together...
need to handsew the binding on.

Hope you had a great day!

That red is absolutely gorgeous and with the other coolrs - ooh la la! Jacque - love the pinwheel too - and how you quilted it - my bed quilt is quilted like that - i think my Mom called it the jigsaw pattern as it looks like a puzzle! You are amazing with your creativity!

Oh dear - never heard of those color catches - sounds like something I need to have on hand!

Thanks for the color catcher info! I checked it out and will get some. I have a few things that bleed every single time I wash! Joyce

the pinwheels are wonderful...love those color catchers...I washed a few older quilts recently and tossed in 2 sheets for each...no bleeding, but the sheets came out hideous!

can't wait to see what you're up to next...

This color catcher product is new to me -- I often wonder how do they keep those deep reds and purples from bleedig on to the other colors -- good to know -- see I can learn a lot from a blog - your super wondrful to share with your viewer!
