Color Catching

After several washes of both the red and the blue fabrics, the Color Catchers are still coming out with dye on them. I am going to stop with it now, and just get on with cutting the pieces. It might be that I will wash the quilt again after making it and before sending it. It surprises me just how much color is caught each time.  The vibrancy is no longer in the fabric, and for that, I am sad. But life goes on and nothing is ever perfect.

Even in the movie, THE LAST SAMURAI, the scene where the last of them dies and looks to the falling blossoms, He looks at them and says, "perfect, they are all perfect". 


That might be the lesson. To see perfection everywhere, to accept it and to go forward.
