I love purple fabrics. I have bought purple fabrics often since I started quilting in 1998. I have never before seen color catcher sheets come out this dark from prewashing. 😵💫

Very soon, this quilt will be at a stage where I never have to iron it again. That will be a wonderful day. 😂
(I actually quite like the ironing part of quilting but this is 81 blocks and the blocks each have 18 pieces in them. So. much. ironing.)

My ironing board is under a vent. Was having trouble a few days ago with the corners of my cut-out pieces flipping over when the A/C came on. I had extras of these stickers on my desk nearby and they're the perfect weight. 😂
