I was thinking it might wrinkle up really nice and give it that lovable quilted feel. I am also getting into the habit of skipping on the prewashing. I use overal very high end fabrics so i would hope they do not bleed. I actually think the dryer is what shrinks everything.

I love the look of an old quilt so I almost never prewash. Some flannel shrinks less than others. Lets hope yours just shrinks a little. That is so frustrating. I know because I have done it.
