    I made the blocks, assembled the top, and picked paper from the seams. However little bits are still in the corners. I wondering what will happen to my white background fabric when I wash it. Does the printer ink leave little black spots?? Is there something (vinegar, ?) that can be added to the wash to prevent the ink from bleeding? Thank you!

    Thank you for this project. Paper Piecing skills greatly improved. The struggle was worth every “what?” because the results are stunningly beautiful. It makes much more sense and the steps are organized in my head. Bring ‘em on!
