thanks, Penny. It's machine appliquéd. I don't think I have the patience to do an hand appliquéd one anymore. 🙂

Thanks so, Maggie! And Welcome to Cute!*

Thanks so much! I'm enjoying making it.

Thanks!
I'm sorry, I thought I had given the link.... it's there now.
Do you have pictures of your Eleanor Burns quilt? I'd love to see it. This is the first quilt with a black background I've made and I'm loving it so far.

Thanks so much! Hugs*

Thanks so much! I'm having fun playing.

First off, vacuum the quilt to remove as much dirt as possible - that might be all it needs, most of the time.

You can wash it in a top loading washing machine IF you can bypass the Agitation cycle. Fill the machine with COLD water and mild soap (Orvus, Woolite, Euclan or Mane and Tail horse shampoo) HAND AGITATE the quilt working the soapy water through the quilt . Set the machine on the rinse cycle. Repeat if need be, Once you're satisfied all the dirt is removed, advance the machine to the spin cycle. Once most of the water is removed - gather up the quilt, it's going to be heavy, so have help standing by, roll it and place in a sheet to carry it outside to lay flat in the shade. Cover with another sheet to keep bugs, bird droppings and what have you off the quilt until dry. You might have to rotate the quilt and/or block the quilt as it dries to keep it square.

Or you could wash it in the bath tub. Fill the tub with cold water and a gentle detergent). Add the quilt and "agitate" it by hand, working the soapy water through the quilt. Any dirt will rise out of the quilt. Scooch the quilt aside and drain the water. Refill the tub with the same temperature water (since the wool has been prewashed and felted, shrinkage isn't really a problem) Repeat until the water remains clean/free of dirt.
Drain the water leaving the quilt in the tub! Gently roll and squish the quilt to get more of the water out. Roll it onto a sheet and cart it outside to dry flat and in the shade.

Thanks Kim! Years ago, my DH and I attended an exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art which was made up entirely of Baltimore Album quilts. They were amazing! Of course they were all hand applique with teeny pieces. Each one a person's life's masterwork.

Thanks so much for looking. Hugs*

Thanks, Vicki I'm having a ball making it! Hugs*

Thanks so much for your kind words! Hugs*

Thanks so much for the compliment! Hugs*

Thanks, Carolyn! Hugs*

Thaks, mama! I think I'll never completely work through my stash :-/ but this is making a dent, at least. A good of portion of the wool is recycled from suits. skirts, and slacks. Fleece sounds super cuddly - I might not want to get out of bed! Hugs*, Deb

Thanks so much! Hugs*
