How to wash a quilt before a show
I am entering a quilt in our county fair next week and have machine quilted it on my mid arm. I need to wash it to get rid of basting glue, threads, dirt, etc. I dont want the crinkly look though because I feel that the quilting will show better. The backing is minky. Can I still just put it through a wash cycle but lay it out on a sheet to block and dry instead of putting it in the dryer? Other ideas? I plan on washing and drying it in the dryer before gifting it but that will be after the fair.
I used W&N for the batting and top is all cotton.
