MY baby quilt by margonaut

MY baby quilt

Made by my grandmother, who I was named after. The only quilt I have from anyone else in my family. Documenting its condition before attempting to clean it.
Oh my gosh it is wonderful! No wonder you became a quilter! Is it appliquéd and embroidered? Best of luck on your cleaning attempts. It's a treasure!

Good luck!

@wiesnerbeth @ceci Yes, it's appliqued and embroidered, and hand-quilted (of course). I soaked it in a textile cleaning solution made for antique quilts, and it worked pretty darn well. Only the worst stain in the lower left is still visible, but much fainter. I will probably soak that corner again and maybe try a little lemon juice and sunshine.

@margonaut my mother swears by lemon juice and sunshine!
