Glad to hear you tried the Borax and saved the quilt! Borax is the most amazing product and very gentle too. I have a quilt wash recipe that uses Borax as one of the main ingredients and my quilts come out looking fantastic and last for years. If anyone is interested in the recipe PM me.
This quilt is 17 years old, and spent 15 years being used on my bed full time. (and slept in)I have now retired it to my spare room so it can last another long time. I wash them about 3 times a year on average
My MIL made this quilt for us 17 years ago. I washed it just this morning and have it air drying over the sofa
