nope. i don't prewash anything prior to sewing, and knock on wood, have yet to regret it. I do wash the finished quilts before I use or gift them.
The one time I did wash a bunch of fabric, was because a mouse got into a drawer of fabric. I really disliked working with the washed fabric afterwards. Too floppy and soft unless heavily starched. I like my quilts soft, but not while I'm making them.
Of course, this does not include my own hand dyes. Washing is part of the dying process.
