I agree with what's already been said--I would wash it before giving it, just because they look SO different after that first wash, and don't you want to see how it turns out? :-) But, to vary from an earlier opinion, I actually never prewash fabrics that I use for quilts--I love that crinkled look on a quilt, and if you prewash them, they end up a bit less crinkly. It's just personal preference, but I thought I'd let you know that you really can do either depending on what you like (plus, I'm always so excited to get started that I don't have the patience to prewash!).Rachel // Maybe Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737624506695244343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920631567765679370.post-62266199209148619472011-07-27T11:57:03.701-07:002011-07-27T11:57:03.701-07:00Thanks for linking to Take-A-Look Tuesday - - I fe...Thanks for linking to Take-A-Look Tuesday - - I featured you today! - Mandy, www.SugarBeeCrafts.comMandy Beyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161745997385818862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920631567765679370.post-68693385645590995102011-07-27T11:09:24.073-07:002011-07-27T11:09:24.073-07:00What an adorable quilt! you did a great jobWhat an adorable quilt! you did a great jobBrookehttp://www.killerbdesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920631567765679370.post-30279173438234037642011-07-27T10:06:41.035-07:002011-07-27T10:06:41.035-07:00It's so beautiful!It's so beautiful!cmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440269729903535827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920631567765679370.post-71537430930132472472011-07-27T08:04:50.056-07:002011-07-27T08:04:50.056-07:00Wow, you should be very proud of yourself, your fi...Wow, you should be very proud of yourself, your first quilt looks fantastic!
