I did rinse and dry my baby quilt today and it definitely shrank. I had measured it yesterday and then again today after its bath. It shrank more lengthwise than widthwise, but I bought a much bigger piece than I needed and may have happened to cut it so the lengthwise would shrink most. I am happy that now the mother won't be surprised when her baby's quilt shrinks in the wash. However, I will say the owner of the LQS is apparently clueless: this batting most certainly does shrink, although she said it would not.
