I think that is a great way to handle this as I do know a lot of the different colors I have used in other swaps lost a lot of color when washed. Received on that wasn't and I am going to wash it to see before I put in a quilt. It was a huge lesson for me and now I wonder if I ever gave a quilt (hardly washed fabrics before) ever got ruined. I still throw in color catcher when I wash a quilt and only one so far had a problem.

Party handling the swap will mail washed to senders who send washed and non-washed to non-washed senders. That way everyone is happy.....ain't life all about being HAPPY!!!!!
