How often should we wash our quilts? Read somewhere that they shouldn't be washed too often?

As my home is pretty dusty, I made it a point to wash my baby quilt every 3 months, which was used as a throw quilt over my sofa. After a few washes, I realised that the colours seemed to have faded slightly :(.

Has this anything to do with the frequency of my washes or the way I wash it? I have a front loading washer and I'm using regular detergent. Thereafter I tumble dry it and then line dry. Is there any special detergent for washing quilts which I should have used?
