I had an antique quilt top given to me, the blocks were sun bonnet sue appliqued on a white background. I put it in my washing machine on gentle cycle with a sheet of color catcher in it and it came out beautiful. Then I sandwiched it and hand quilted it. Finally finshed the whole thing this week, put it back in the washing machine to get the marks off it where I quilted it and I love the results. Have no idea who made this top. wish I did. Marge
