I so totally agree about the butterflies. I knew that if I posted on here that someone would come up with a real good idea. Thank you everyone for the great comments. Oh by the way I forgot to put on here how much I paid for this quilt. Are you ready for this? I only paid $15.00. Somebody really screwed up, they just didn't know what they had. This is all hand stitched.

Congrats on such a great find. do what you can for repair but if the stains don't come out-hey its part of its history.

Try soaking the stains in peroxide. I have good luck with it. The quilt is beautiful, I would love to own it.

I agree! Perhaps a little batting over the one that it all the way through. I love the idea of butterflies.
