I recently washed a dozen 6" blocks. I put them into a lingerie bag and safety pinned them @ the 4 corners. They were 6 layers thick. It worked great. If I had made the bag to fit them securely it would worked even better. I can visualize wrapping the jelly roll tightly in a bag. Dry it in the dryer that way also.

Also, had used adhesive spray to baste the quilt (it was great) and decided to wash the quilt when completed because it was going to a newborn -- that unwashed fabric bled. So sad. Still haven't figured out what to do with the jellyrolls, etc. because they will be difficult to prewash.
