I always preshrink just like Lori S. here but I even put it in my front loader sometimes and put it on the "presoak" cycle so it just flips it once in a while. Othertimes I soak it in my laundry tub, drain and spin it out but it always goes into the dryer so however it will get washed and dried after it is into the quilt, it will be fine. I've been doing it for many years and it hasn't ever balled up or came apart. do follow her advice on re-positioning it ever little while.
