Washing a quilt

I wash mine in our front loading washer. It tends to start out slowly so that the quilt has time to arrange itself in there. I've never had it get unbalanced, at least not so far. I use the shortest cycle and the high-speed final spin to get as much water as possible out of the quilt.
