Default Rescued quilt blocks
[ATTACH=CONFIG]617870[/ATTACH]These blocks,from the 30s,were wonky,filthy,smelly. I put the quilt together,soaked it 3 days in retroclean...it changed from brown grunge to white! I don’t know why it shows up turned sideways...

Well done, the quilt does look very good, and great colours reborn from that soaking.

That must have been a challenge working with wonky, filthy and smelly blocks. You did a great job and it restored beautifully.

Yes, a beautiful restoration. Red & white quilts are just so classic!
