I very very rarely wash my fabric before making a quilt. I only use warm & natural 100% cotton batting, and sometimes only quilt lighlty, and have never had a quilt shrink up unevenly. Yes one does have to make the quilt a smidge bigger to make up for the slight shrinkage, but I personally like the look in the end. Each of us have different views and ideas and that is a good thing for all of us.
