Gift 40, 50 or 60 years in the making?
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is the third top of my grand-mothers tops I've quilted. This one is for my brother's grand-daughter. She graduates from high school next week. I don't know when my grandmother pieced the top, but it had to have either been in the 50's, 60's or the 70's at the latest. It could have been even earlier. She died in 1991. It had some really bad spots on it but saw some posts on the board about Retro Clean; I ordered and got it just in time! It's AWESOME and most of the stains and discoloration are gone. I think if I had soaked it another day, it would have all come out.

You have a wonderful family treasure there. I'm so glad you were able to finish it.

Retro Clean is wonderful stuff! I'd use it again in a second.
