When I give a quilt away I do not wash it. If I want it to look really old I will wash it after I have sewn the binding on but otherwise not.<br />Also...I am doing the pay it forward here in the states. I don;t know where you are located. You have a wonderful blog. I don't have one but I enjoy reading them.

Mine are all vintage finds, I'm afraid - no matchy-matchy here...that's a darling table runner, can't wait to see it made up! <br /><br />Yes, I do wash every quilt that leaves my house. Especially since I have a cat and dog, some folks are allergic. Also, sometimes it's the only time loose threads show up! And I do machine dry them, I make my quilts to be well used.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058947129425678041.post-33985403286230935362012-01-15T00:49:36.729+11:002012-01-15T00:49:36.729+11:00I wash all my fabrics before making a quilt but do...I wash all my fabrics before making a quilt but do not wash the quilt before giving it to someone ,however when I do wash I hang them on the line to dry .

If a quilt is for a gift I usually dont wash before giving but to dry I use a mix of onthe line and in the dryer ... just depends on the weather :)Sharon - Lilabelle Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057515833969118954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058947129425678041.post-34747449837617442902012-01-14T20:07:05.510+11:002012-01-14T20:07:05.510+11:00Great storage idea, will give it a go to keep my c...Great storage idea, will give it a go to keep my cupboards tidy.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928609611962705614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058947129425678041.post-77669589003090628492012-01-14T16:15:33.055+11:002012-01-14T16:15:33.055+11:00Hi Cheryll, with washing of the quilts....I normal...Hi Cheryll, with washing of the quilts....I normally before piecing check to see if the colours run...ie burgundy, black, navy.....if so I wash all the fabrics..with salt and vinegar to set the dye...if the colour keeps running I disgard the fabric....everyyear I gentle machine wash my quilts and hang them to dry on the clothesline.....also have dried them in the dryer...but prefer to line dry them....with the backing on the sun side...Regards, O'faighBinsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070253894928147490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058947129425678041.post-28841935642324812402012-01-14T15:50:21.354+11:002012-01-14T15:50:21.354+11:00I saw the pillow case tip ages ago and used it whi...I saw the pillow case tip ages ago and used it while I had 3 sets of sheets for the bed. It seemed a bit of over kill now I only have 2 sets. It does keep them neat. The only two quilts I have made have had quite a bit of applique on them so I washed them to make sure all the bits were secure. One was a gift. I pegged them on the line.Valspierssewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052294048481393185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058947129425678041.post-78544998129244090082012-01-14T14:41:02.608+11:002012-01-14T14:41:02.608+11:00Silly me - I left a comment on your PIF descriptio...Silly me - I left a comment on your PIF description.
