The quilt is about 90" square.

Careful on how you word that to him .... he may insist on using the lawn sprayer!!!

I am sure you can still "persuade" him into doing it .........
......... and too, with the right wording, he will never even think of the old sprayer!

Can't wait to hear how you make this happen!!!!!

Personally I will never preshrink a batting. Been making quilts for 43 years, haven’t found a reason to do that yet. I purchase the batting that is going to give me the end results I want. I truly cannot imagine going through that process. So, i piece my batting before. My batting gets washed when the finished quilt is washed.
