I, personally, do. The fabrics have not been hanging out in the cleanest places (warehouses, shipping containers, storerooms, etc.), so I always wash mine, but many people do not. Except for flannel - always wash flannel, several times.

it is really a personal choice and a choice based on the color of your fabric and type of fabric. I don't worry to much about washing unless it is a batik or red or ones I would suspect of being a bleeder. Truly it is up to you to wash or not to wash. And the same with washing after you have finished the quilt.
