See that, across the lime green circle? Ummm, yeah. That's what's called faded fabric. :( I finally took out my Brrr! bundle that I won months ago, started ironing the FQs, and noticed right away what had happened. It's not present on all of the pieces that I have, and is definitely most pronounced on the lime green than any of the other colours, but can I say how disappointed I am?? I'm sure you can all understand! Of course I will still use it and I'm hoping that it will not be obvious on a finished object. I'm chopping it up a fair bit (more to come on that!) so I'm crossing fingers that that helps to conceal it as well.
So may this be a lesson to all of us, please store your fabric where it will not see the light of day!!

Oh no Heather! I hope that once it is made into something beautiful, it won't be noticeable! I love the Brr! and really should get mine started into the tree skirt I have planned!
It is such pretty fabric that hopefully your project will be the focus rather than the fading!
Oh darn. :(
This is also something to watch in bundles that have been sitting at a shop for a while...
Seriously Oh darn!! ;(
That's the pits!!!
Oh, wow! I've never seen fading like that! But I'm going to run upstairs right now and make sure I don't have any fabric sitting under the skylight in my sewing room.
Oh, boo! I'm sure it won't be noticeable when you put the quilt together.
Such sweet fabric...what a shame. you probably want notice once you cutt it up
Oh my goodness! That is so sad. I like to be able to see my fabrics. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
