Open to all suggestions---thanking you for your help---terry

I want to thank all that have responded with ideas on cleaning my quilt--putting a sheet under the quilt in the tub sounds like a winner---drying it flat seems to be a safer way to dry it---i looked outside this morning and decided to wait until Spring!!!!--i have this vison in my head of the boy in the Christmas Story getting his tongue stuck on the flag pole---with what i see outside my window am afraid the quilt would get stuck on the snow and ice till spring thaw!!!! and besides i am in hibernation mode!! Thanks to you all---terry
