wash and dry the quilt you just finished; before you give it to the recipient?

I do. Just incase for some reason a seam comes apart or there's color issues. (I learned that from experience...ouch! haha)

It depends on who it is for. Children...yes, me...no.

Yes, I wash all quilts before giving them to the recipients. I like the look of a washed quilt, you know how it looks and feels so soft.

As soon as I put that last stitch in the binding, mine go in the washer. Then in the dryer on low!

PrettyKitty

Yup! Always.

Quilt4u

I do.

patricej

definitely into the washer.

if it's for a child, it goes into warm water and the dryer, too - on high.

and adult's quilt gets a cold bath then either hung or dryer, depending on size, how it's intended to be used, or my mood that day. (a very scientific system. :lol: )

If you have used any type of starch product, it's a must to wash. Silverfish love these products, so you have to get them out.

I wash and dry which is a good thing since one of my seams came out after that and needed to be fixed. :x
