I have washed quilts after they have been used and soiled
I dry them on the wash line on a clear sunny day, no wind
I haven't had any refused or returned for any reason
I must be alone in this world, I do things my way
I like the look of new fabric

I never wash my quilts when finished either! I pre-wash all fabrics; I pre-wash the batting as all my quilts are photo quilts and I don't want any shrinkage; I cover the quilt with a sheet when not working on it; I have no pets around so no stray hairs on it; I, too, like the look of new fabric!
