I have always had "a suspicion" that many that receive "a donation quilt" may not have the most modern laundry facilities or be aware of "the best way" to wash a quilt.
Therefore, that is why I try to remove possible problems before an item leaves my custody. I think it would be sad for the recipient if a donated quilt fell apart or bled after/during the first washing.
