What do you do?

I always sleep under a quilt before I give it away -- it is supposed to infuse the quilt with your happy thoughts and dreams about who you are giving it to. Then when they sleep under it, they will have a part of your happiness and love towards them,

yep wash it right after "I" sleep under it...Suppose bring good luck if you sleep under it first!
Really? I have never heard of this before. I think I would feel really weird sleeping under someone else's quilt.

Thanks for any info!

I always wash before gifting to charity, friends or family there are pollens,sizings, dye residues and of course oils from our hands, dust and who knows what things get into the projects while we're working on them. This way I know it was clean and desensitized befoe goving and I like the antique and soft way quilts look.
