YES!!! I want to be the first one to wash and dry it---it would be HORRIBLE for me to give a quilt and the recipient wash it and have something come apart---they would be so very upset and i can easily avoid causing anyone that trauma by taking care of that final step myself- i figure it is the final step of completion- i would never allow anyone to take a quilt i had not washed first.
with the exception of wallhangings that won't be washed ever.
