Default Have you ever handwashed a quilt before completion?

So here's my problem......I've marked out a quilting pattern with my washable crayola markers and I've quilted it but now that it's "finished" I'm thinking I want to add more quilting and change the pattern a bit. My problem is that the marker pen won't come off just with a dab of water, it needs to be washed out...no problem I know, except that I want to get rid of the marks now so I can see more clearly what I want to add. As it is, the marker lines are confusing me deciding what extra quilting to add. Has anyone washed their quilt and then added quilting? I haven't put any binding on but the border is a densely match sticked 4" so I don't think I need to worry about it not having its binding on yet. What do you think?
