Why does everyone wash their quilt as soon as the last stitch is completed?

Everything already mentioned, plus I have a terrible habit of snacking while I'm quilting. It's never anything very messy, just things like carrot sticks or nuts. But still, I want to make sure there are no crumbs or anything when I fold up the quilt for storage or packaging.

4. Make sure the colors don't bleed. I use a color catcher when I prewash and another when I wash the quilt.
