Here is the quilt

This is the quilt I bought at Frenchies for $2 this afternoon , if you look closely at the right hand corner you will see a stain , well there are a couple of those but otherwise it is in ok shape , it is pretty in these pastels and was probably purchased at a store such as the Pan Handler and is hand made and hand quilted but was not an expensive quilt. I do like it however and I am pleased with my purchase .I may place it on the round table in our bedroom for the spring , all these pastel colors will brighten the room . It has been washed twice in hopes of removing the stains but I am afraid they are permanent now .Thanks for the visit .
hugs Sheila

    I'm glad a nice quilt has had a better outcome than the one originally planned. Nice work Sheila!

    I have heard that natural yoghurt will remove dye runs so it may work for the stain. Gorgeous quilt regardless

    Sheila it is lovely. Why not applique some flowers on top of the stains?

    Hi Sheila! Sorry I've been "absent" for a little while. That quilt is so pretty...I love those pastels and you sure can't beat the price! There are a couple of things I use to remove stains from fabrics when I purchase vintage or used items. One is Biz. A good soak (usually overnight) takes out a lot of dirt and stains in fabrics. The other is Fels Naptha Soap. That stuff is great. But, if all else fails, I think Betsy's idea is a good one!

    XOXO,

    Cyndi

    If they are small stains, why not sew some buttons over them...it would embellish the quilt and hide the spots!
