Oh Boy! I'm glad you said that! I'm hoping to make 4 throws for my kids&spouses for Christmas, panels on the front and minky on the back. I have the panel fabric all pinned to wash.....now out come the pins and will not prewash! The minky won't shrink, the cotton fabric prob will. I'm not even sure at this point how I'll quilt them, if much at all.....maybe just enough to hold the layers together. How does it mess up the panels.....wonky, crooked, what????
(at the rate I'm going, will prob try to just finish 2 for the out-of-towners and show the other two with a post-Christmas promise-my standard MO!)
