I would add, if you use the bed, make sure you don't have one of those mattress covers that is a fiber product... :oops: know from experience how fast they melt!
I agree with ironing a quilt but I only use the weight of the iron on un-batted stuff...I go over the seams with just the point of the iron and steam, after they're batted, so I don't flatten out the pouffiness.
