The original poster washed them - which would not bother me too much -
but ironing/pressing a quilt top after it has been washed - UGH!!!!! It's enough of a chore to do it properly while it is being assembled.
I got the impression that these were not going to be sent to the Quilts of Valor organization - ???
Does not matter where they are going to be donated, I think that the quilts should still be clean and odor free (including strong fragrances from soaps and dryer sheets) when they arrive at their destination.
