Default Question on pre washing fabrics

I am a fanatic on washing fabrics before using them. My question is about charm packs and jelly rolls. I am afraid of shrinking after quilting. Should I sew them first and then wash or put the whole pack in a small mesh bag so they don't shred all over and then wash them before using them? I guess I could then just lay them all out flat and let them air dry. I know this sounds lame but I don't like to work with stiff fabrics. Any suggestions would help.
