    Love your quilts, let us know how it turns out...my sister has one that our grandmother made which has the same deterioration issues.. BTW, love you quilt inspector! Is he a basset? Very unusual markings, but he/she is a cutie!

    You are right about the date. It was made from feed sacks that feed was put in during the 1930's and 40's. A lot of quilts and clothes were made from those sacks. I have several of the ones that are in your quilt. It is certainly a nice vintage quilt. Handle with care. You can machine wash if you place it inside a super large cloth bag like a big pillow case. That way, you can let it soak awhile. I use Shout on any stains and then let it sit in some oxiclean for a while before washing.

    The stains will probably come out with the product you've already bought. If not, I can tell you I just got 30 year old coffee stains out of a handworked tablecloth. It had been washed and dried several times. It also took other stains out of some other items. The name of the product is RetroClean.

    Beautiful quilt. If my Grandma or Great Grandma had made it, it would NOT be in an estate sale!

    Great that you were able to get it! I'm a little sad though when the family doesn't treasure the quilts in their family :-(

    What a marvelous find, especially since it came from a family that you know.
