NEVER dry clean any quilt. The chemicals will destroy your quilt! Wash on gentle with Orvus, I'd dry it flat on sheets, outside weather permitting. If it's very old & delicate you could wash it by hand in a tub, don't wring, just squish out what you can & dry as before. Nice quilt!!!

Just wanted all to know that my quilt has been washed and dried and is just wonderful. Washed it in the washer with woolite after soaking with biz and a couple of shout color catcher. All the writing and material are so much brighter now and it feels so soft and warm. Glad that it is done and another old quilt has been saved. Thanks for all your thoughts.

I always do a gentle machine wash and dry when my quilts are completed. I want to make sure nothing falls apart so if there is a problem I can correct it at that point.
I am so happy for you that all went well with your process of washing and drying. It is a beautiful quilt. Congratulations!
