Until I realized that I had not figured the squares right. And it wasn't going to work at all. So, I put it away. And just about cried. 6 months later, I decide to use all the fabric. I really need a summer garden to look at in January in MN. So, I sewed. And, although this is not what I intended, this turned out better than I hoped it would. :)
That quilt looks gorgeous! Bet you're glad it's done now. :-)
The thing with spit is right... it's the enzymes in the saliva that work on the stain. Part of the secret is getting the spit on the stain while it's still wet, before it can set. And anyone's spit will work, although it's probably more hygenic to stick with your own! lol
