If it is a modern quilt — yes. If it is an antique quilt (before 1950) be very careful.

Go to a laundromat and rent an extra large sized machine and put just one quilt in it. The dryer might be a different question. Carefully load it into a basket when still wet and take it home to lay it on the grass, or over a clean picnic table, on a sunny day and allow it to dry flat.

It is not hand made, but I like it. I was thinking it would stand up to the gentle cycle.

I took a quilt to the laundromat once and brought it right back home. There was some guy three putting a filthy rug from the floor of his truck into the machine.
