Default Quilts with selvage edges used

When I took up quilting 6 years ago, I was told to cut off the selvage edges and I always have (saved them all and used them by themselves), but I was given 4 quilts to quilt by a new customer and every one of the quilts and backings have the selvage edges incorporated into the quilt seams. She tells me that she has never cut off her selvage edges and I am wondering if this will make a difference when the quilt is washed. She also never pre-washes her fabrics.

Anyone ever made a quilt like this and washed it? I would love to know how it turns out!
