An aunt to my mother's best friend gave me a Sunbonnet quilt years ago and I decided to wash it not realizing just how old it was. The quilt came out with so much fraying along the sashings between the sunbonnet blocks and it was that old faded green fabric. I've been meaning to take the blocks apart and find some sort of old fashion looking green fabric to put it all back together but so far it's been stashed in my closet for at least 15 years. Now I'm thinking I should bring it out and see what I can do with it. The blocks seem fine, its just the sashing that came apart too much to use the fabric again. I guess it was pretty old plus it had been all hand quilted. The gal is now dead for many years.
