Default Washing Antique quilts

The article for today is about washing antique quilts. It says put it in a bathtub with luke warm water. I would add: First lint the tub with a clean white bed sheet. That way when you lift the quilt, you can lift the sheet and not ahve any strain on the quilt itself. I did mine that way with great success. Drain the dirty water from the tub; fill er up an do it again. I rinsed mine three times to be certain the dirt was gone and no soap residue remeined.
