Thanks for all your replys. The quilt I am just "FINISHING " up now has a little bit of kitty hair and lint on it , I wanted to freshen it up . It is for a charity benefit auction. (I hope it doesn't fall apart ).
And another one I am working on has a spot of , grease , I think. It must have come off my machine when I keep turning it to do the quilting . I hope I can get that out , it is on white fabric.
Thanks again for all your help. And pics coming soon!

Depending on who it's going to, I'll wash it. If I'm not sure, I'll give it a wash. My cats LOVE to give them all some "personal love" before they head out the door. Sometimes, they give too much and some has to be washed out. lol
I'm always afraid at times that someone allergic will get one of my quilts, so that's one of the reasons I will wash.
ALL baby quilts get washed regardless..........

I toss it in the dryer with a large wet towel and a dryer sheet. Unless it has been laying around for a while or the cats got on it....then it's off to the wash. I just prefer the crisp look of an unwashed quilt for gift-giving.
