Helpful new hint....on washing small pieces of fabric....
This is brillant...just read it in a tips for Success sheet I got in the mail today....
To wash small pieces of fabric without fraying the edges,
put them in a salad spinner, rather than a washing machine.
Spin with hot water and soap.
Rinse in cool water, drain and spin.
Press the pieces dry.

I read here on qb that you could wash small pieces by hand then just press while wet with hot iron. This will preshrink the fabric as it would shrink in a dryer, thus eliminating the risk of shrinking after it is used in a quilt.
