Vive La Rouge Deux

The AIDS fundraiser quilt is DONE!!

I'm really proud of this one and so grateful to all of you who sent blocks to help make the quilt!

Just finished last night at 1am and dropped it off this morning for auction.  The quilt finished at 62x90 and I think will make a great twin size bed quilt or nice big couch quilt.
The auction will be Saturday.  Here is more information on the fundraiser.

Here is the back of the quilt:



And here....is the very scary amount of red on my FIVE Shout Color Catchers.


Does anyone know if this means the quilt is still at risk for bleeding issues?  I didn't see any problems when it came out of the wash...and once it was dry I was happy with the results...but wonder if I should send a color catcher or two with the quilt winner?

Thanks again to everyone who sent blocks.  I am so pleased with this quilt and to help raise funds for AIDS awareness.

Now, if you will excuse me......

This is what my sewing area looks like...and believe me, it doesn't get any better around the corners!

    I think it is still bleeding. I'd wash it until the color catcher comes out light pink....But I like it!!

    That turned out amazing!!!! And those color catchers are too funny. Just to be on the safe side, I would send one with the quilt.

    Gorgeous quilt - I love the bonus blocks on the back! I hope it raises a ton of $$$ :)

    Red is such a sneaky colour - I would add a couple of sheets with the quilt for the auction - the winner will wash it alone due to the size, but I see some white/light strips in it that might discolour if the red is still running. Those cc sheets really are AMAZING - I wish they would start selling them here in Canada (I get them Stateside on our Joanns runs, lol).
