I bought one several yrs ago at a flea market...all white. And it too had some that had undone and a few were missing.....so I repaired , filled in the blanks and washed by hand in the sink with Dawn dish soap...let dry naturally....and came out beautifully. I like to put it on a bed with a colored flat sheet under it ...but now with the wide backing fabs in many lush colors...more choices....so fix, clean, and enjoy it....
