Thanks for you help!

First of all welcome to the board from Pipe Creek Texas!!!
I have made many, many rag quilts over the years. I have never prewashed any fabric. I wash the quilt after it is complete so that it frays better. I guess it is a matter of personal preference....good luck with your decision.
