Catherine-- did you wash your quilt in a regular washing machine? and if so.. it is a front loading machine or the regular ole top loader? A friend who makes rag quilts said she washed one in a regular machine (for the 1st wash) and it clogged up the plumbing. She suggested taking it to a laundromat for the first run. Just wondering what you did and if you had any troubles.
