I love these quilts and so do all the grandkids, BUT I do have a caution.... I've plugged up our plumbing twice from washing them and the dryer once from drying a big one. Also, if you have a septic system you're putting a whole lot of fuzz in it. So now I take them to the laundromat the first 2 times I wash them.
I think they make darling baby quilts but probably not heirlooms.
