This is also a pinwheel quilt pattern. Notice how the white parts come together to form a pinwheel each place they meet. Twin Sister is just one of the names this pattern comes under.
You could try a google image search for "pinwheel quilts".

Your machine applied and sewn down binding looks like a late 60's "ditzy" print. Some of your fabrics look 50's, other's look 60's. Hand quilted. Nice quilt!

Question Remove or clean staining on this quilt?

Folks, not sure if anyone's noticed, but this quilt (and probably others!) I have managed to save does have some staining. The next to last photo in this set shows two blocks stained with blood, I'm pretty sure - don't think it's wine or coffee - again, since I am away from home and can't look at these quilts right now, I can't really get the best idea of the staining.

What sort of tips on dealing with that sort of stuff? I'd rather just stabilize versus attempt to remove the staining, since I bet it would harm the rest of the quilt to try completely removing the stains.

Especially since I think these may be blood stains - from when we used this and other quilts as "multi-purpose blankets" for our kids when they were little. Don't really want to erase the stains - can I just leave them alone?

Thanks
Adam
