Be very careful with an old quilt. I found a quilt top made by my grandmother made in about 1920 for my mother but never finished. I found the top in a brown paper bag some forty years after my mother died, in 1984 and it was stained. I did everything wrong and tried all I could think of to get the blood stains out. WRONG MOVE I know now. Never wash or use any chemical but ORVIS a neutral soap to wash the quilt, and be careful. You can buy QRVIS at anyplace that sells farm foods for animals for it is used to wash horses and farm animals. This is what an archivist told me too late. Don't use WOOL LITE she said. But I'd done the damage and over the years parts of the quilt have continued to fade in the vegetable dyes blocks. This was a feathered star, hand sewn with a green star center of vegetable dye. I was not into quilting but had the quilt finished and hand quilted in Ozark, Missouri and love it anyway> Justme CA

Another product worth considering is Carbona Stain Devils. They make formulas for various stains and one is specifically for blood and dairy. In our stores they are in the laudry isle in their own display rack--look for yellow bottles, about 3 inches tall. I have luck with getting blood out with that, Grandma's Stain Remover or H202 (peroxide). Sometimes on old, set-in stains, I will use all three. Definately want to get it all rinsed out after treating. If you don't want to get the whole quilt wet, lay the part with the stain over a bowl and maybe used a large rubber band or something else to get it tightly stretched and held in place. Then you can work on the stain, rinse and turn it over to work on the other side. Hope this makes sense. Of course, you will have to take it out to empty the bowl as it fills with water. I also use a soft bristled tooth brush to work on the stain as I'm using these products.
