Hi Love your ragged Qt, especially the rose great Idea.Did you use all flannel, turned out great.

First off, with any rag quilt, I first get it wet in the washer and spin it dry without agitating to keep from killing the pump on my machine. Then I put it in the dryer and clean the filter every 10 minutes or so just to get the worst of the strings and lint over with. I then go back and wash it in the washer and proceed normally. I know it takes a bit longer but it's that old ounce of prevention thing because.......

I also live with a well and septic system and cannot afford any problems. I've been filtering my washer drain water for years with an end of hose drain screen. They are cheap and you can pick them up really reasonably at Home Depot so nothing goes in the drain to stop up the works. You can also make your own if you choose to.

Thank you ladies for all the nice comments. This is my first quilt I posted was nervous..my work does not hold a candle to all the beautiful pieced quilts posted. All I know after I washed and dried it I was forever finding stray thread in my laundry room.

Used flannel for the "between" fabric, 100% cotton on fron and back

Do these actually cause more 'stringing' than prewashing a whole load of one yard or less fabrics?

Of course, after the first time of doing that I decided not to pre wash unless it was for swap blocks!
