LOL....not silly. I'm just going off of what was communicated to me. But they also said you should take them out and refold them every 2 months or so...

I'm not an expert on this one. I was ALSO told to was them in a a specific detergent that you can get from any Farm Supply store, because it really gentle of your quilt...but the name of that eludes me right now.

Hmmm.....this this would be a good thing to talk about and get a tut going for it. :P

I think you are talking about *Orvis* horse shampoo, it is a paste and extremely gentle.

I havae been making pillowcases to store my quilts in for a long time now. Usually I have enough fabric left from the project, even if I have to piece it. By the way , the French seam looks really nice, or you can also serge the seam to finish. And another good part to this is when your quilts are stored at a glance you can tell which quilt is which , without unfolding and having to refold.
