There's a Hole in the Barn Door


48x60
Hole in the Barn Door
I used up some 6.5 inch squares I've accumulated over the years from various I Spy swaps. 
Quilted with spirals on my plain Jane DSM.

It will go to Wrap-a-Smile  which provides quilts for kids quilts for kids undergoing cleft lip/cleft palate surgery. 


Unfortunately I forgot to put Color Catchers in the laundry when I washed the quilt and some of the reds ran on to the back.  I have read some places that they can be re-washed with Color Catchers after it has run and sometimes the reds will come out.   I will have to see.

Linking up today to Confessions of a Fabric Addict...Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?    You may want to see what everyone else is Whooping about this week and Sarah is having a Giveaway. You won't know what it's all about if you don't visit her blog!

  2. There is a product called sythrapol that will remove the excess dye.

  3. What a gorgeous, cheerful quilt, and so lovely that you are giving it to a charity for sick children.
