Thank you, Ginger! I should have searched the board before I asked *smacks forehead*

I think by volunteering to take the quilt and try to clean it up, I guilted her into attempting to do something with it. Now she says she dried it in the sun and it just has some stains on the back that might come out with a gentle bleach wash.

Roguequilter, while the reports are, of course, greatly exaggerated and catatrophized for the shock effect, a lot of the flood water is just that. Water. We don't live in an area that allows septic systems and there were no sewer breaches here. Mostly its just the overflow from the reservoir or one of the creeks or rain water so while its a bit muddy and icky, it's not really toxic and many items can be salvaged. I wouldn't worry about something like a quilt that can be washed.
