1quilt_gma,
Thanks for the tip to bookmark the topic, I didn't know yet to do that!
I'm soooo sorry this happened to your quilt and all your effort, what a downer :thumbdown:
But, as an encouragement, let me tell you about an antique quilt from the Civil War era that I saw in a MUSEUM once. It had the pencil marks still showing on the face of it 130 years after it was made, but that beautiful quilt was proudly hung where all could see and admire it.
Love yours anyway!
