The red basket is beautiful. Do you do something to insure that the red won't bleed on the white background when it is washed? Tks. for your help. Dottikins

Of course I do prewash first. But with red being so bright and tends to bleed, my grandmother told me a little secret...When washing the quilt the first couple of times to add about a cup of salt in the water, it will keep the colors from bleeding. I always add salt when washing bright quilts...
