Rescued quilt blocks
 
1 Attachment(s)
[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.

Wow! Snowy white! I've gotta get some of that RetroClean....

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!

Very pretty now that it is restored. Great job.

Nice job! Those blocks are lovely now. Well worth the rescue effort.
