Wow! I've never had this problem so any solution I could give would be pure speculation. Is the lint coming from the quilt or are you washing it with other things that are giving off the lint? I can't imagine cuddle fleece giving off that much lint but I've never used it on a quilt back. Perhaps that is the problem. I would think that the lint would stop or at least slow down once it's gone through a wash and dry cycle. But three times??? Just don't know. I'd try using a clothes brush or masking tape and then see what happens.
