I'm so sorry this has happened. I'm not clear on the problem, did it come apart at the seams? As Bearisgray said could you explain. I have one of those "store bought" quilts, when I washed it, it came apart. My pets do get on the bed, so I use this one as a top cover. I taught myself how to FMQ on it and still have spots that come apart when washed, then I go back and FMQ some more on it. Just a thought.
