Instantly Well Loved
March 10, 2011
I know many quilters and most have a strong opinion about whether to pre-wash fabrics before making a quilt. I'm a "don't bother" kind of girl for two reasons:
1 - It's an extra step that requires too much time & energy (wash, dry, iron, refold …)
2 - I love quilts with that "oldy-worldy" look, even if they're brand new. And the best (only?) way to get that look is to wash the quilt in warm and dry on high after making it with non-preshrunk fabric.

After.

Love this quilt! I used the same fabric (the white with the flowers - I think it's called Sugar Candy?) in one for my daughter. Gorgeous!
