I always used to wash baby quilts in baby-friendly detergent before I gave them away, partly because I wanted the new parents to see first-hand that washing them wouldn't hurt them! Also for the look. Then my niece said she'd like to see it first all crispy and new, so now I ask first how they'd prefer it.
