I wash my king-sized bed quilt (super large, hangs down 12" from the top) in my front loading washer, a mid-sized LG brand. It washes fine. I do have challenges getting it dry though. I end up turning it on 20 minutes low temp, take it out and rearrange it, do another 20 minutes, repeat until dry. It generally takes an hour, but I do have to rearrange it regularly.
