Thanks everyone. I got her all washed and dried. Most all of the spots I thought were stains actually came out. This beauty is already being loved by my 2 sweet grand babies. Can't believe I am this excited over a silly little quilt, but I am. Feel like I won the jackpot!

Even though its hard for me to understand how some can just sell a hand made quilt for just a couple of bucks... I also feel that it found its place.
Lucky you to have been in the right place at the right time.

What a shame that some poor woman poured her heart and soul into a quilt like this only to have some unappreciative person sell it for $3.00. Thanks for rescuing it from the garage sale!!!

I don't know about others, but sometimes I love things because of the work and love put into it...and because of who poured out that love and hard work. It is a beautiful piece of art.
