In some ways this discussion is so ironic - way back when the utility quilts were made from the "good" parts of worn out clothing, and the "batting" was worn out sheets that had been torn down the middle and the "better" parts were resewn so that part would be back in the center.

These fabrics had been washed and washed and washed. I doubt if there was much shrinkage from those fabrics!
