Also, I read recently in a quilting mag about how collectors really prefer antique quilts that have never been washed. Smiling now, in the future will that be true, what with this onslaught of bedbugs! Wonder how long they can be dormant yet active......

You wrote to them and they didn't respond? Well that really is unacceptable and them know that. It make take more than one letter. I think let Andover know as well. I really feel your frustration. This is really poor service.

It's horrible you've had this experience, but I love that the community has give you so many ideas on how to handle the problems. I'm definitely writing them down for the 'just in case' scenario I would leave feedback, if possible, on the site where you bought the fabric to warn others from having this sad situation happen to them as well.

The Designers likely purchase the fabric from the manufacturer....esp if the Designer is selling fabric via their online website. The problem lies with the source...the Designer. He/She most likely works from their house as lot of onlines do. My quilts come back from my long arm smelling of musty air as she has her long arm in her garage. The smell dissipates once I get it home.
The mildew concerns me. That issue , to me, is more troubling than smoke. Are there lots of black spots on it??? Would a light spray and water and vinegar work? I should google it.
