My dd has asked me about making them a picnic quilt for the coming summer. This is a great time to see your post. Thanks for sharing.

Can you machine wash and line dry if necessary?

Thanks for the link!

I did find this about cleaning oilcloth:

You can wipe oilcloth clean using a warm, soapy sponge then dry it off with a soft cloth. Machine washing is not suggested. Store folded or rolled. Any creases from folding will smooth out over time-- faster in a warm environment. If you want to speed the process up you could use the steam setting on an iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the oilcloth (DO NOT TOUCH THE IRON TO THE OILCLOTH).
