Scrappy Zig Zag Finished at Last

 This quilt is finished but still not labelled.  I have a dilemma about whether I should turn it in to the TAQ's or keep it as a lesson to myself.  The problem is that I spilled some water on the top when I was filling my iron and the colours bled into the adjoining light blue blocks.  If we give this quilt to someone and they wash it, it could turn into a terrible mess and I would not want them to feel they had ruined it when it was my own lack of foresight in choosing batik scraps that hadn't been prewashed.  I tried to get the staining out but not with much luck.  I can wash it and use Colour Catchers but I really don't think they will prevent the dark dyes from wicking to the adjoining blocks.

Close up of colours.  I think that purple will run.

Straight line quilting.  I had to mark the lines.

I rounded the corners to soften all the sharp points in this quilt.  Used an extra wide 100% cotton sheeting fabric on the back which I bought online from Fabricville in Quebec

A few days ago the thought of ruining a just finished quilt that I had put so much work into was enough to stop me from washing it.  But I think I am over that now.  What do you think?  Should I wash it and use it as a learning opportunity?
