Jelly rolls I don't wash. Fat quarters I hand wash only if I'm concerned about color bleeding...as with batiks. I fill a small plastic tub (which was an expensive going away gift after a stinit in the hospital) and soak like colors with a little detergent and hand agitate. I might lay them out to dry or sometimes use the dryer...depends on the fabric and my mood.
