Washing my GFG

After working on it for over a year, and using chalk to mark my quilting pattern, I decided it was time to wash the whole quilt.
So I tossed it in the washer, with a color catcher (ok, 2) and ran it on a cool water silk setting. Then I tossed it in the dryer for 20 minutes on air, and let it dry flat overnight. It took about 14 hours to get completely dry.
Here's a picture of the back, with its beautiful wrinkles. I'm very pleased with the look.
