It Frayed so bad that I had to cut them apart. I would lay them wherever I could to let them air dry. They are sooo beautiful that it would be a shame to have anything happen to them.

I know something about quilting that old quilts have to be washed in I cold water. I did read that if you lay them out in the sun to dry that does take stains out.I dont think it would be wise to use the saw dust. I did see in one of my mags that a new trend is to use them in a frame in a art theme. I just cant wait to see what you do with them.Thanks again for leaving a loving comment on my snowman and ragdoll.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413498366973058795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609369433769493665.post-43701624997527385572012-01-11T19:29:53.663-06:002012-01-11T19:29:53.663-06:00Those are great looking quilt squares.

Your commented on my old sewing machine and cabinet. I did not buy them together. I had the machine head in my sewing/craft room and when I saw this cabinet so lovey with all the woodwork on it I knew it was just what I wanted. It was already painted shabby. I do have lots of quilt blocks that I have brought through the years! I clean mine and with oxy clean. I let them soak and they come out like new. I usually soak them over night. I do stir them around every once in awhile when soaking them. I am always surprise how good they look after the soak so pretty colors so bright like new. Some of mine date back to early 1930/40's. You are blessed to have these great blocks and quilt tops. My favorite quilt is the old feed sack material! You have a great time looking at the fabric. I find myself looking at my pieces and wonder what they were before they were turned in to blocks/quilts.

You are blessed with the gift of encouragement, and you serve the Lord well with it to those of us that are happy to hug you, and call you a friend right back!<br><br>What a marvelous find, yes, I'm one of those quilters who is jealous right now! Your completed projects are going to be beautiful, I'm sure. How could you go wrong? The sawdust idea is new to me, again showing my low "primm" knowledge. But, I've made pincushions with sand filling, so it doesn't seem too far fetched, really. I think I would do as was suggested by someone else to line your pillow with muslin. That would help on the wear the pillow would receive, as you do not yet know the strength of your fabrics, and filling them too much may stress the fabrics and stitching. <br>As far as the washing, I'm sure I'm too late to suggest laying them out flat on a folded towel to air dry, much as you would a delicate sweater. When you press them later, be sure to press down, and not do too much pushing/pulling on the pieces, as they will distort very easily. I would also use spray starch to help give them shape and body. Gee, am I telling you things you already know? Sorry if that's the case!<br>I close this "book" of a comment by saying, I L.O.V.E. your quilty background on the blog.
