WIP Wednesday & I need your help...

This past weekend I went with a friend to two quilt stores.

We were supposed to go to lunch, but one of her girls ended up getting sick... in one of the quilting stores.

So we cut the trip short.

Here is what I came home with:

-a twister template (the quilt top underneath is what will be twistered)

-two fat quarters for my next bee block

-a template for tiny hexies

-3 yards of Moda Red fabric

All 3 of these projects are my current WIPs.

I am going to use the red fabric for a wedding quilt for my sister.

Instead of buying a jelly roll, I bought the fabric and was going to cut it.

The quilt shop lady told me to make sure I rinse it very well.

I stuck it all in the washer, NO soap, NO softner, CLEAN washer.

When I pulled it out to let it dry, i found splotches ALL OVER IT!

The problem is, I did not look at it ahead of time.

So while I am pretty sure it happened when I was rinsing it, I don't know for sure.

So what did I do wrong?

Do I have to go spend MORE money on more fabric?

I thought I bought the best.

I don't buy the expensive good stuff (Moda) very often.

And now I am VERY disappointed.

I could salvage a lot of it, but not for this quilt since it is supposed to be stripped piece.

So sad.

So does anyone have any suggestions?????

Please????

Go check out what everyone else is up to!!
