I've decided on a dark, inky blue for the background...and it really does look very inky
so I've washed it to see if the colour was going to bleed from it.
It washed OK with not too much...actually, hardly any... blue showing in the washing machine water.
My plan is to create a two inch border of this blue, with a little one inch multi-coloured strip of whatever colours I've got left out of my fabrics I'm using...then a surrounding, deeper border of this blue.
I'll have to see how it looks as it's going together.
Plans may change.
Sandra.
