You can wash those jelly rolls, charms etc...
just hand wash gently in the sink, and then use a towel to roll them in and wring them out...then toss into a salad spinner and spin til damp..then press...
yes, they might shrink, but as long as you sew them all with the same seam allowance, and ALL of the fabrics are washed/shrunk, you should be ok!
