Givio, better late than never! I love some of the old old quilt patterns on my to-do list that may never get done...but I enjoy the patterns any way. To do and finish one is even better! Do what interests you.
Anyone have suggestions on washing an old wool quilt...some of the backing is missing and I am afraid it might 'wash' out and so I am looking for suggestions. I have thought about sewing cheese cloth over the large area where the backing is missing.....but....somewhere.....sometime...an animal...maybe a cat...has relieved themselves of excess water... and it smells strong...too strong to get too close to it...I think the batting is wool also. Years and years old...I remember it from childhood. Its a tie knotted quilt.
It is snowing here...sigh.
