I'm not that obsessive. It's whatever size it is. The bed can still wear the quilt even if it shrinks a couple of inches. Lap quilts and baby quilts will fit all laps and all babies even if they shrink some.
That wasn't the point or intent of the question -
You don't get to say how I answer questions. It was asked if any non-washers measure before and after. My answer is "I'm not that obsessive."
I'm sorry you don't seem to like the answer, but it's my answer.
Go read Harriet Hargraves books. She doesn't prewash and advocates tearing fabric. If it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me.
