We do not recommend machine-washing our block print quilts on a regular cycle as the natural cotton-filling may mat and flatten when machine-washed, particularly during the spin cycle. Quilts may be dry-cleaned to maintain the loft of the combed cotton batting. If you prefer to machine wash, use a gentle wash cycle for “delicate” items and cold water with a gentle laundry soap to preserve color. Air dry or dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage as these items are 100% cotton.
