I've been quilting for 25 years and all I can add is, when you prewash fabrics and wash your quilts in HOT water and DRY on HOT, they WILL shrink, they WILL wear, and most fabrics WILL lose color prematurely. Drying a quilt in the dryer WILL shorten its life considerably ...
There's NO other result for 100% cottons ... so why would quilters who do this expect anything different ???
