Very glad that all came out well.

I wash my quilts all the time in ordinary liquid soap, the ones with no additives or scents. I have a large capacity washer as I have a lot of king size quilts. I line dry. The quilts come out wonderful, after all they are made out of that expensive fabric right? They should hold up to washing. I always use the gently cycle tho.
