I recently received this quilt with shams, therefore I can't comment on washing history.  But I am in love with the beauty of the material and the workmanship.  There are no loose threads. It hangs beautifully and the scalloped edges make a gorgeous presentation.  In the short time I have owned this quilt, I have had numerous compliments. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I am with all my purchases from Wayfair.
