Yes, I have too. Almost worse than a plastic bag.

Some of them look like some of the older designs from the Aunt Martha transfers also. It's a lovely quilt. I'm so glad it came clean for you.

Well, My DDIL almost cringed when I first mentioned hand washing it. She said, "That won't be me hand washing it". So I offered. She and I are very close, so she gladly took me up on it. She said she would trust me with anything. How sweet is that! My washer has a very nice gentle cycle and I shortened it to 6 minutes with a gentle spin. The fabric didn't seem weak anywhere or I wouldn't have done it. It was faded a little where it had been folded but otherwise in great condition.
