It is really hard to wash a quilt in a bathtub, in my opinion. I have done this for a couple of older, hand-made quilts. If you have two people it really helps. They get incredibly heavy as they soak up water and I worried about stretching or tearing the fabric. Since yours is not pieced, might not be a concern. After I had washed mine, I read an idea that I think might be helpful and that is to use a plastic laundry basket to place the quilt in when you are ready to move the quilt out of the water. I think you would place the quilt in the basket and then squeeze out the water and move from the tub. I am picturing using this between washing and rinsing and when you are done. Hope this makes sense
