Default Regarding my cedar chest find

I recently posted a picture of a baby quilt I found in my mother’s cedar chest:
I found this in my mother’s blanket chest

thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I found and used RetroClean as mentioned by SusieQOH and it worked wonderfully all the stains are gone and the pastels are brighter. I took a new picture but the difference really doesn’t show up in the photo. Now to figure out what to do with it!

Yay!! I'm so glad it worked for you. I've used it on many, many vintage linens, quilts etc and have never had a problem.

Thanks for letting us know. I bought some Retro Clean at Quilt Festival 2019 but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Good to know it works!
