I have a quilt that I need to finish & need to double-check about the washing bit also.
A quilter who entered contests and such once told me to do it in cold water (less shrinkage and if there's a chance that your fabrics had a little extra dye in them after prewashing, they're going to bleed in warm water). Also, I only ever tumble dry on no heat when they're in the dryer...still prefer to line dry them, though. My quilts are for loving, not competing, and I like the smell of line dried quilts. :D
