I'm wondering about what could be rigged up to facilitate the air drying of the quilt, and thinking of cookie racks and window screens and such... If one washed and air dried quilts frequently enough to make it worthwhile, it would be handy to have a series of snap-together window screens with feet on the back side, so you could put them together in whatever size your quilt warranted and use them to reshape and dry your quilt instead of the mattress pads. The screen mesh would support the quilt but also allow air to circulate so it could dry faster... What do you think?Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-91511028528285336352018-08-19T00:08:28.323-04:002018-08-19T00:08:28.323-04:00Well Hello to the gorgeous quilt!

I...For Linda Swanecamp...don't wash just a top! It will turn into a stringy mess. I do longarm quilting as well as quilt restoration, and when I get a dirty top to be quilted, I have to bite the bullet and quilt it first, then do the washing as suggested here. I put the binding on, too, before the washing. Good luck with the project! Do a little test of colorfastness with a Q-tip and water before doing the quilting. You may have to move it around more during the washing and rinsing phase.WAZOO!
