I just finished handquilting two queen size quilts. The first one is a raffle quilt and the second was for the sweet old lady at the senior center who donated three of her hand pieced and appliqued quilts to the center for their fund raising raffles. I washed both of them to get the markings out that I used in the quilting process. I then threw them in my dryer. I ended up pressing the old lady's quilt from the back as it wasn't quite dry and I wanted to make sure it didn't mildew. I didn't want to overdry it. Both of them came out beautifully.
