For those of us older gals who live with only a DH or alone, waiting for a "full load" means we don't sort our laundry (Gasp!) and the luckier ones have a DH who does the laundry as well. SO, my quilts have to be ready for just about anything, in or out of the laundry! Fabric had better be able to take the worst abuse up front around here.
I also dress myself out of the dryer to cut down on folding. Yep, this means I wear the same two or three outfits out here in the swamp over and over again! Sue me! Love having a washer and dryer in the bathroom!
