After Luana posted this link, I started googling it myself (why didn't I do this first? Because the QB has become my place to go for help and info!!) and here are 3 sites that have before and after pics too. There are probably more but these were good:

There sure seems to be a varied result after washing and it seems to depend a lot on the density of the quilting. When I get my baby quilt finished, will take pics before and after washing and see what happens! Thanks for all the input---you gals are priceless!!

I don't buy batting anymore.I buy those cheap blankets from Walmart that has the satin binding on one end, I take the binding off and send it to the longarmer and they work beautiful.I think I can get a king size for about $15.00 and its cheaper than batting it lasts and launder's so much better and living in the land or snow where we are cold 9 months out of the year it's so worth it for me.I have suggested this to other quilters and they do the same now and will not go back to batting-except for a wallhanging"s or placemats....,hope this helps
