To wash or not to wash.....
#7

I always wash a quilt before I send it off to live in its new home. It can be years between the time a fabric gets bought and when it gets put in a quilt. I quit pre-washing fabrics several years ago for most quilts so by the time a fabric gets into a quilt it could really use it!

I do not prewash my fabrics before using them (exception is flannels)
I do wash all of my quilts before they go out the door. I usually throw in a couple of Shout Color Catchers.
Reminds me, I just finished 2 quilts, I should get them started in the washer!!

I don't prewash my fabrics so I wash the finished product before I give it away. It gives it that puckered look and I also use washable marker to mark my quilting so the wash gets rid of those also.
