Quilting Adventures?

So excited!!
Last week I posted on Facebook about how I MIGHT have bought a quilting kit. 
Ok. I did. 
And it arrived!!!


So many colors!!


Love them!!


Well, after I do my pre-wash THIS is what I have. 



Is this normal?!?
I can't find anywhere that says I wasn't supposed to wash the strips. 
I have been trimming and ironing for an hour now and all I have is this. 


Which is only a third of the strips. 

Some one please tell me if I have completely ruined my chances of making an amazing quilt. 

It's kind of depressing. 

I guess you only learn by trying.
I really hope I can keep this project alive and have something to show in the end. 

On a happier note I have been playing with leather again. Hope to have something to show soon!!

  2. There are some people who don't pre wash and some do. I'm sorry you lost some material. :-(. I always hand wash in very hot and line dry. I hope you can still make your quilt.

    1. Since this is my first REAL quilt attempt I think I will take this as a learning experience, salvage what I can, and see how it turns out :) I will definitely try your hot water approach next time!!
