I never, not ever, give a flannel quilt without washing it several times at the laundromat. If I have the time (rarely) I wash it a third time. I even put a note with the gift and tell that it might be wise to wash in a laundromat at lease once more and besides I use Warm and Natural and that large quilt is heavy when washed. I do have flannel ones that I wash in my machine, top loading gentle cycle and there is still some lint after 10 years. Hubby loved the flannel in winter and these are not rag ones.
