Thanks for opening my eyes to the other side of the coin. I do wash the fabrics and soak battings but rarely wash the finished quilt.
On another thought, I have made a quilt for our first grandchild and told my daughter that I haven't washed the quilt.
1)I am flying with it and only doing carry on so I want it flat not fluffy.
2) She can wash it in the deterget that she uses for the baby.
3) I will be there if there is any oopsies....hoping not. :wink:
