I am very nervous and have rust spots in my washing machine (chipped enamel)so I usually do mine in the bathtub. But I did finally throw it in the machine last week and it came out much cleaner. I dry on the line. (no dryer).

machine wash and dry, regular cycle, hypoallergenic detergent. Most all of my quilts are gifts and I want all the sizing chemicals gone before it is gifted. I also never know how the recipient will wash the quilt, so I put it thru it's paces before it ever leaves my house, so I know if it has issues that I need to fix first.

I wash on regular cycle with hypoallergenic soap (but I always use that),and oxyclean if they have light fabrics, and dry most of they way on regular cycle. I will remove them before they're fully dry and lay flat just to prevent wrinkles. I'm not making works of art and hope the people that receive them will use them everyday and wear them out!! I don't even care if they're referred to as blankets, as long as they're used ;)
