Sounds like the same way I take care of them and No problems yet, made many quilts without washing fabric first. I personally like my fabric crisp from the start, it makes it much easier to cut. I also throw my quilts in washer on delicate, cool water and low to medium heat in the dryer. Your exactly right.... It's all about personal preference.
