quilt care

Caring for a quilt involves gentle handling to preserve its fabric and stitching. Wash it carefully—preferably by hand or using a delicate, cold-water cycle—and avoid harsh detergents. Dry flat or hang in a shaded area to prevent fading and stretching. Store the quilt in a cool, dry place, ideally rolled rather than folded to prevent creases and fabric stress. Occasionally air it out to prevent mustiness. If a quilt is heavily soiled or delicate, consider consulting a professional textile conservator for specialized cleaning. Proper care ensures your quilt stays beautiful and lasts for generations.
