I have just completed quilting a top that is from the 40's and I did not wash it before quilting as I was afraid to. It is all quilted now and really needs washing. How should I go about it? I need help.

Do you have the binding on it yet? I would if it isn't before washing it :D:D:D
|
It is all bound and finished. Do I want to just give it to the daughter all finished or should I clean it???
|
I would wash on gentle and use a gentle tumble dry
|
I put mine in the washer and dryer and they came out fine. I did 3 that were some my Grandmother had pieced in the '40's and '50's.
|
I do gentle wash cycle and tumble dry and have had no problems so far. Have done new and old quilts this way.
|
I have added a picture. Also does any one know what this block is called???
|
How are the signatures done -- written in ink or embroidered? That will make a difference in how you wash it.
|
The signatures are all embroidered.
|
Also the hand piecing was very well done.
