I don't like the gray. I don't think it does anything for the quilt. I would probably use just the black.mas for washing, finish the quilt, then go to a laundromat and use their large machines. Your home machine just will not do the job.

I like the gray circles. I would be apprehensive about just washing the top along. I think it should have the stability of quilting and binding on it first. If your home washer is too small then go to the laundromat. I think you'll have a mess on your hands if you wash it before you quilt it.

...after it is quilted. If you machine wash it before it is done, you could end up with a nightmare instead of a quilt. I would also take it to a laundromat and use the the 'big boy' style washer so it has lots of water to swim in. Please post an 'after' so we can see it 'bloomed'?
