To prewash or not, that is the question



various prints and batiks from my stash

Why bother prewashing fabrics these days?  It appears that more often than not, quilters are choosing to use fabrics without prewashing.  I have two quilts in progress (snowball and color block) in which I decided to throw caution to the wind and not prewash.  I'm holding my breath ... fingers crossed that I don't get any bleeding or excessive shrinking.
