Fabric Softener

I dont. But what I do do is as I fold up a quilt, I put a fabric sheet between folds. I was told to do this by a old time quilter. It helps keep the quilt fresh smelling and it also helps prevent the smells in your house not to get on the quilts.

I actually had a quilt that I used fabric softener on every wash, it looked great, then I washed it before storing it and stored it as my LQS suggested, rolled, not folded (no creases that way) and used fabric softener and then I pulled it out about 9 months later and every part that was overlayed with another had spoltches (sp?) on them and the only thing it could have been was the fabric softener on it. I still use it because I think it's still beautiful and warm and homey, but it will never be stored with fabric softener on it again!
