I don't prewash because some of the fabrics will fade even if just a bit & I don't want my quilt to look like it's been used already, I will put a note in them when I finally finish & send them out with all the instructions on how to wash & dry and how they will look after the receiver has added their part of the quilting process of the 1st of many washings. At least this is how I hope it all happens *wink*
