Your quilt is beautiful! I'm washing the wool now. One piece was 6 yards I haven't a clue why I bought so much. 10 yards washed and almost ready for the dryer.
Thank you all for this information.

I generally take my wools out of the dryer before they are overly dry ( helps with wrinkles) then I just press them dry, but sometimes I don't catch them and they are fine. Then your wools are ready to use. Your finished quilt projects are washable, check out my (Backyard Gatherings) quilt... It has been washed, dried 3 or 4 times in the picture
