Thourghly wet the quilt in warm water. Lay it flat on a table outside in the sun and take a bar of Sunlight Laundry soap and very gently rub the fabric with the soap. Leave it out in the sun. Dip into a pail of warm water and redo with soap again. Leave in the sun again. You may have to do this a few times. Try not to rub the fabric. Once the stains are gone wash very gently and be sure to rinse thoroughly. I did this recently with an eighty year old christening gown and it came out snow white.

Cute!! So glad you snatched it up. Those pixies look like the little "boo boo's" in the Mabel Lucie Atwell{1879-1964} pictures. They are meant to protect babies and little children. There was a fabric line that came out in about 2001 featuring them and little children. I still have some. You may be able to get the rust out of the background fabric with a product called Iron Out. Do a test spot first. {It is used for toilets, sinks, tubs, and white clothes.} Take care not to use it on colors. Enjoy your quilt!
