I use lukewarm water, detergent and oxi-clean (4 scoops) and a fairly full tub of water. I agitate it on gentle just a few minutes to make sure everything is mixed well...let it soak overnight and then let it finish running through on the gentle cycle.

I have this quilt in a kit, I started in when I was a teen, mine is not yet finished. Yours is amazing and inspires me to get my back out to work on.

Congratulations on the great find.
