This is my reasoning, too. I wash all large pieces of fabric just as I would a sheet. I do shake the fabric out before putting it in the dryer, but I do that with sheets, too!
I also wash fat quarters, several together, as I would small towels or anything else that size, just loose in the washing machine. I've never washed layer cakes (never bought any, actually) or anything smaller, but if I did, I would put those in a lingerie bag.
