Mee as well.... I always prewash! I have an early quilt that I made when my 17 yr old son was small. When I was first learning they told me never prewash. Well in my opinion - that's wrong advice. I need to wash his finally. He never uses it - it just has sat in a heap in his room for oh about 10 years. Guess I need to go get some more color catchers and throw that thing in. I'm just so scared because there's dark green (that I know bleeds) and white in this quilt. But, it's time. Thanks for the reminder. Yes! Love them
