I toss it in the washer. Wash at cool temp, either hang or dry it in the dryer. My quilt that my mom, grandma and I hand quilted, I fold and put it in the bathtub. Then pretend I am Lucy and walk on it. I don't use it, so it is just to freshen it up. I then put a sheet on my deck and lay it out flat to dry. It is all hand made and with real feedsack fabric, so I try to be gentle with it.
