My sister made me one last year for Christmas, (because she knows that the quilter is usually the last to get one, so she thought that she would help me out, she doesn't do much sewing even let alone quilting) It is a really cool one that is done in circles, It was washed before getting here, but other when it is in the washer and dryer, I don't get anything off of it when using it. Even when it was on the couch before it got put on the bed, no one was walkling around with blue, red or green fluff on them, Though I imagine that there is some fabrics that tend to pick up more lint than others.
