T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
I'm with quiltingNan. I prewash everything except my W&N batting. Then I know it won't bleed and it is preshrunk. Love the look.

I like both. It depends on the fabric and pattern for me.
I agree with crafty pat. It depends on the design of the quilt. If I'm using l930's designs, then I like it crinkly. So it just depends on the quilt and the period of fabric I'm using.
I love patchwork the most, and an antique look....Therefore I prefer the crinkly look. Of course at times there might be a project that would look better with a flat look. Patchwork and scrappy I like crinkly
I like both depending on the project. I like flat and crisp for wallhangings and tablerunners. I like crinkly for bed or lap quilts. Another question in the same debate is flat or fluffy? Again it depends on my project. I have some people in my family that prefer a fluffy comforter quilt versus a flat one. I enjoy them all!
I like Flat also
For me it is not the look, it's the feel. If I am going to cuddle in something it needs to cuddle back, not lay flat around me.
Isn't it wonderful that we can create both and please us all?
Enjoy your day. Wonderful fabric sales to all of us! Cheers!!!!!!!

I also love the crinkly look in my quilts. I like the old and loved look that it gives to a quilt.

I love old quilts and use reproduction fabrics, the crinkle makes it look more like an antique quilt.
So I'm a crinkle girl.
