I use Orvis for the first wash when I finish a quilt, with warm wash and cold rinse on the regular cycle. I also use the high speed spin, and then throw it into the dryer with No Heat (sometimes called air fluff) until damp dry. I will say here that I use dryer balls to keep the quilt from bunching and not drying evenly. I then lay it out on the guest bed (on top of a white sheet for protecting the bed AND the quilt), do a rough block and let it dry that way. I live in the desert so hanging on a clothes line would be giving the quilt to the sun as a sacrifice, and because of the lack of humidity, drying only takes a couple of hours.
