This is an old old quilt that I quilted.  The top I found in an estate sale and it was lying in the floor over behind a bed.  I can understand why it was there because it was nasty.  It had been stored in an outdoor shed or something because it was stained up and pretty nasty.  I did not was the top because it was so old I thought it would fall apart in the wash.  I quilted it before washing it so the quilting stitches might hold it together better.  After I got thru hemming the binding down, I felt like a needed a good delousing. 

I am happy to report that it cleaned up really well once I got home with it.
