Thanks for the advice. I will try any suggestions. I used a product called "Vintage Textile Soak" to remove some rust spots from pins that were left in the blocks. That got out the rust spots and I checked those before I dried the quilt. Sadly I didn't know if she washed the fabric before she put the blocks together (I have no idea when she started the quilt). I will keep trying.......a very sad lesson learned for me and hopefully my questions and your replies will keep this from happening again.....
Love love love this board....I have learned a lot of helpful tips here.
I am afraid that quilting is becoming less popular with the changing of the times. I want to keep it going!!!
I have only been quilting for about two years and will keep on quilting.....It's so comforting knowing there is a place where I can get advice from others that appreciate the love and thought that goes into quilting!!!
