All in all it is a very old and pretty quilt. When I figure out how to post, I will do so.
I also received a sweet note from the seller. It's not the end of the world and a good lesson learned. Thanks for all the comments and advise. |

Nice that you worked it out in a way you are happy with. I also bought a precut quilt kit on ebay. HUGH mistake. Blocks were cut including the salvage edge. One group of the center blocks were cut to small....any way rendering it useless. The seller attempted to make some corrections after I left a less than positive feedback. I still don't have what it takes to make this quilt. The fabric is no longer available. I learned my lesson for sure! Wouldn't it be interesting if we had the same seller? things that make you go Hummmmmm!

maybe you can add some applique designs on it where the spots are to hide the stains of rust just a idea

My good friend tells me that tooth paste (white ones, for obvious reasons) will take rust off of things. Try it in a small area?
