If the red was not colorfast, I wouldn't have washed it. I knew as soon as I saw the fabric that it was colorfast. It's Turkey Red. But I did a quick test just to be sure,Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-13078145391833678682015-02-05T04:36:30.834-08:002015-02-05T04:36:30.834-08:00How did you test for red colorfastness?

But, they are so dirty I can't stand to handle them. I'm going to try washing one. It's like an dirty old matted dog, once I clean it up it will be lovable. The other has those browns that self destruct. I don't think it can take a wash.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-63423633308902876422015-02-04T07:12:44.745-08:002015-02-04T07:12:44.745-08:00This is such a beautiful quilt- it deserves all th...This is such a beautiful quilt- it deserves all the gentle love this washing provided!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312616115950259393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-63625123294887110202015-02-04T07:02:55.724-08:002015-02-04T07:02:55.724-08:00I love to see this gentle process prortrayed!
