Pre washing no longer advised?

I don't prewash either. I do use the color catchers and those are great!

Heck, NO!
Except for flannel, of course.
I learned this one a little too late, and am still trying to find a way to back-peddle out of this 'not so' perfect, lovely mess of a baby quilt.
And another, that I pre-washed that I can't find my way back to, but HAVE to because she is nearing her first birthday.
The learning curve....
