Panic has left the building, thank you! Out here in the boonies with no washer or dryer, my batting is now hanging from the loft as a reminder of things to come. Thank goodness I have another quilt project to pasify me until then. Thank you very much. I'll try the dryer when I get my washer and dryer hookups. Sounds like it might fluff it up and even pre-shrink it a little?? Thanks again.
