"Huh? How is one supposed to clean a baby quilt if not by washing and drying? Or are you expecting it to be put away (for what purpose?)"
Most people don't know to wash only on gentle or "handwash" cycle. One of my daughters washed her children's bed quilts every two weeks for 5 years on regular cycle and then asked if I could mend some weak places. That was my fault, not hers. How was she suppose to know. She probably felt she was doing all she could to keep on top of things. I hadn't given her instructions.
