    Wonderful quilt and wonderful family history with it, both past and present! So glad it was saved.

    I asked that of Darlene (Sewdamncute) myself. She used that time honored technique -- laying it out on the grass in the sun! My grandmother, mother and I all did that with lace doilies and tablecloths. Works wonderfully.

    What a beautiful quilt! You will have to to remember both your aunt and a friend who helped you finish it.
