Baby Quilt Question
Howdy y'all ☺
I'm in the process of making my very first baby quilt! I always wash a quilt before I gift it because I love the puckering effect, and because I don't want the recipient to freak out after they wash it and it gives it a different look. LOL! But I'm not quite sure what I should do as far as washing a baby quilt. My baby days are long over, and I won't be having any more grandkids either. So I don't have any baby laundry detergent sitting around, and I hate to buy an entire jug of it just to wash one quilt! So for those of you who have made baby quilts, what do you do? Should I go ahead and wash it with the detergent I already have and include a note to Mom about the soap, or should I just bite the bullet and buy the baby detergent? I guess I probably sound cheap here, but buying a detergent that won't be used again just seems wasteful of the detergent AND the money to me. Any suggestions?
