I made my first flannel rag baby quilt last week. I wish I had listened to my friend, when she told me to take it to a laundrymat.... well, to make a long story short, it washed ok, but it broke my dryer. I've never seen so much lint in my life. My husband took the dryer apart and we are waiting on parts to arrive. I hope he can repair it. The quilt is cute and fluffy but still has lots of lint on it, so it will have to be washed again AT THE LAUNDRYMAT. In the meantime, it's raining here in FL from storm "Beryl" and dirty clothes are piling up.
