My partner and I have exchanged PMs about mailing - no date set, but both of us are ready. I guess the question is to wash or not to wash (pardons to Mr. Shakespeare). That's what partner and I are discussing. I've always loved the crisp look of the fresh made quilt before that first wash, but I do agree with Nexxus about the look even after the wash. Oh, well, waiting for Jane to respond so I can make that move, otherwise, I'm ready to mail and pretty excited about it, too!!
