Thank you to everyone who has continued to respond to my question. My friend did end up sending everything out to a local restoration company that came highly recommended. She did, however, pass on many of your suggestions above that I shared with her - it was not quite clear if they knew how to handle quilts specifically. So I hope that things turn out well. I will keep everyone posted!
