How I wish there was Smell-o-vision.
You would say, "Oh, yeah!"
It's washed and dried. Let's look at what washing did both good and bad, and then how it was done.
FYI: I snapped these photos under a shady tree today. It's so bright and sunny that it washed out the colors taken in full sun.
Pros
- I can put my face up to this quilt, and it smells like fabric not dirt.
- I've reduced the chance of introducing insects and spiders to my home.
- I'm free to add it to my collection shelving without fear of transferring a mildewy or a dirty odor.
- It won't trigger an asthma attack. I have a problem with dust mites.
- It's far more pleasant to share at an event.
Note: There was no dye transfer visible anywhere.
