Prewashing saves any shrinkage problems. Also dye running too. According to "Sod's law" the first time I used an unwashed piece it would either shrink or run and possibly both. No I'm not a pessimist, just wouldn't want this to happen to any of my quilts.

I made my dad a quilt and used fleece backing...I did not prewash...gosh...I hope it does not shrink.

I too, did not ever think fleece would shrink. Who would have thought.
