@RickiTarr My 80+ yo dad & stepmom slept in an oversized king bed & used a quilt for the top cover. When visiting I always tried to help w/chores. My dad assured me the quilt could be washed in his washing machine. Against my better judgment, I stuffed it in & started the water. It didn't take long for the washer to become overwhelmed & start spewing water from underneath. Now I had a gigantic wet quilt that weighed about 50 pounds. I hauled it to the laundromat to use an equally giant machine.
