Quilt care instructions

I am making a quilt for my friend's rodeo queen coronation auction in a few weeks, and I have been thinking about making some kind of tag for how to care for the quilt. I plan on leaving it unwashed for the auction because it will be more appealing to buyers, so I wanted to say something like "Wash separately in cool water, dry on low, and enjoy the wrinkly softness." Sounds lame, but I wanted to mention the wrinkly-ness in a good way, since I know that it freaks some people out.

Any suggestions? Or do you know of somewhere online I could find a good way to word it?

Re: Quilt care instructions

  • Hmm. No idea. Hopefully someone has a good idea! I don't think the way you phrased it sounds that bad, though.

  • "To preserve the original condition of this quilt, spot clean only. For a vintage look, wash separately in cool water on gentle cycle, dry on low heat, and remove while still slightly damp."

    (That last bit reduces the shrinkage somewhat and promotes longevity of the fabric.)
