In preparation of my quilt borders, I needed to order extra fabric. It arrived promptly from the
Holly and Ivy Etsy shop.
Prior to anxiously cutting into the fabric, I realized that I had to delay one day by prewashing / soaking the rusty burgandy Moda fabric (the good stuff). Gosh, am I glad I did!

| Last, but not least, third soak in cold water and white vinegar |
Phew! I am now confident to proceed without fabric worries other than attempting to line up fabric for a nice mitered border. Here's a sneak peak:
