It's amazing that they come out full of color. I love them!

I have an old washing machine, so I'm personally not worried about it. I think it should work in a front loading machine, too. give it a shot!<BR/><BR/>also, I still wash the quilts in cold with detergent. all that I do differently is add the one cup of salt at the beginning of the load, then I wash as normal.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>ajAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-49966530467582129652008-12-15T10:03:00.000-06:002008-12-15T10:03:00.000-06:00I love this quilt!I love this quilt!Chara Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926939092444669480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-52466023983730002002008-12-15T09:47:00.000-06:002008-12-15T09:47:00.000-06:00What a beautiful quilt.
