Salvaging Quilts from Floods
Does anyone have any info on salvaging quilts that have been in a flood? There is a woman on my Neighborhood Forum who is looking for someone to make a quilt for her friend. She's a bit vague, but it sounds like the friend is a quilter. She apparently has some of her friend's quilt and says one "can't be saved" but I'm not sure she knows what she's talking about. The woman who posted is not a quilter and seemed to think that you just toss this one out and have another one made and it's all good. I"m also fairly sure she has no idea how much having another quilt made will cost.
I posted a couple links I found online and told her to please not toss it out but message me. I hate to see someone throw out a quilt just because it got in flood waters. Sometimes they can be salvaged. I especially hate to see her do this so soon. Her friend is probably totally overwhelmed right now and unable to deal with things, so will agree to tossing it only to regret that later.
Any help is appreciated.
