FYI: Always wash your fabric before using it. (That is if you plan on washing your finished project.) Fabrics that are very bold colors and are most likely to fade. You can SET THE COLOR first by soaking the fabric in a mixture of cold water and white distilled vinegar. After an hour, the color should be "set" and won't fade or bleed when washing it in the machine.
Happy Sewing!
