If I had put this much work into a quilt top (or duvet) I would definitively do a denser quilt pattern than stitching in the sashing. It is not only the washing, but the use of (plus Kitty) that causes wear and tear on the piecing.
I am not saying “quilt it to death” but it needs to be more dense than ditching the sashing because of the smaller piecing. I do not determine the density of my quilting by the “suggestions” on the batting wrapping. I determine it by the type of piecing on the quilt top and the “look” I want.
