I wask mine and put them in the dryer with tennis balls.

I go to the laundromat so I can use a washer larger than mine so it gets well-rinsed after the wash. I dry it in the dryer. I usually wash mine twice a year (the bed quilts) and more often for lap quilts that get handled a lot.

I wash mine in cold water on gentle cycle then air dry in drier

i wash mine on gentle and dry in the dryer tumble

I wash them all on a normal cycle and either line dry(weather permitting) or just throw in the dryer. All the quilts in my house get used as bedding, tents...ect....so they are washed quite frequently too.

Besides washing and drying does make them softer. And with kids I like to make sure they are clean and dried all the way through. Hope this helps. :-)

My antique ones are given special attention but not the regular quilts. |
I wash mine and dry them after they are completed. I too love the wrinkly look.

I rotate my quilts on the bed monthly. Cats sleep with us so I usually wash my quilts monthly. All my fabric has been prewashed so I don't worry about fading or shrinking. I just throw them in the washer and dryer. As someone else said if they fall apart it's a good excuse to make another one, like I need any excuses. :lol:
