    I've purchased three fat quarters already and didn't wash them. They have a label on them and I didn't want to take that off. So I'll just leave a note that they are (obviously) not washed. Is that against the rules?

    When I prewash I use baby detergent because its safe for all skin and its not scented. Plus I'm really sensitive to certain detergents. Whenever I get blocks from a swap I rinse them in my soap in case anyone used a detergent I'm sensitive toward.

    if labels are still on the fabric, I'm thinking people will know that the fabric has not been washed. If you DO wash it, maybe put a note in saying it's already been washed.
    I really have never gotten anything in a swap that said it was washed or not. I usually don't wash before I sew UNLESS it's for a swap.

    This isn't Rocket Science. Don't over think things.

    Same here. I will let her/him know they are not washed. My preference is that they not be washed as well.

    OMG now you did it. You know when you kinda throw up but it only goes to the back of your throat. Well that just happened to me that you have Christmas dinner. Then again my vertigo hit me bad yesterday so it could have been that.
