an unusual quilt

An unusual 1930s quilt with eau de nile sashing and backing and deep rose pink feathered wreath quilting was my mending project this week at the cabin.

I rebound two ends and mended a tear, soaked it in a bucket, hung it out and then rinsed it with a garden hose.

Need not have bothered rinsing as it was such a stormy, gusty, rainy week. The quilt was filthy when it arrived with lots of marks , but it sure is clean now.

and, another blanket label to add to my collection.
