Here we are! The quilt I spent almost 2 years making, called 'Seeing Stars'. I only finally managed to label it for our quilting group's exhibition this spring, about a year after we started using it. We used it as a proper bed quilt, washing it regularly (the dog likes getting on the bed with muddy feet and a pet stone to chew on so it gets pretty dirty!).
Trouble was, as soon as I washed it 'one last time', suddenly the colours started to run. The gorgeous turquoise in between all the stars. Right next to the white fabric.
I guess I'm learning. Should have put them next to each other without washing it and testing it. Oops.
I didn't do any fancy quilting on this one either - too scared to do anything like that on my first quilt, especially a King sized one! Maybe one day I'll improve on it.
By the way, I found a picture of the pattern online while looking for inspiration, so if you designed this, please let me know and I will be happy to attribute you.
But how strange that the colors should only now start to run! You would think that would have happened the first time, not the tenth (or whatever). I'm sorry. :(
