They have large washers, but when I saw the pile of little quilts to be washed I was amazed. It was a pile 7 foot across and about 3 feet high. Even with the large washers it would take hours to wash everything. Cats - would rather sleep in a box or on a piece of cardboard. lol 15 x 18. Small dogs - like shelter - afraid they will get stepped on etc. Large dogs rule and sleep where they want. lol
I was thinking about going down to the drapery factory to see if they had scraps, and goodwill too.
I was at harbor freight last week and they had moving quilts on sale for 4.99 and I told my daughter that they would be great to cut up and make little mats.
She was also thinking about using those same quilts for cutting out a horse blanket, just adding Velcro. It wouldn't take much to make one. I've made them out of old bedspreads, anything that is clean and usable. The dogs don't care, lol.
