I can see why you would pre-wash in your Dear Jane. 1. To avoid bleeding of the red into the muslin. 2. To avoid the wrinkles in the washed finished quilt. If I was going to labour over the applique in the Dear Jane, I would want it to look the same after washing. With the red shrinking 11% it would draw up the background fabric a lot, yuck! Wise move!
