it is your project- do what you want- if you don't want to wash it first maybe you could include a note saying- if it falls apart with laundering please call....
just an FYI---Most charitable foundations who accept quilts require they be washed before sending them in...they do not want any chemicals (like starch or sizing) oils from our hands-soil from our homes on the quilts- they expect them to be ready to give- and do not have the facility's to wash everyone themselves.
