I was recently gifted this quilt. It belonged to my great grandmother. I was just overcome. It is such a beautiful quilt. I will have to load a close up of the quilting. It is amazing and all done by hand.
The quilt had a large brown circle on it as well as brown lines along it's folds. I soaked it in Vintage Textile Soak (recommended by my LQS) and all the stains disappeared. I couldn't be happier with this product.
Now my question is does anyone know the name of this pattern?
Here is a t-shirt quilt I also finished recently for a Georgia graduate.

What a gift! I am so pleased that the stains were removed and you can enjoy this beautiful quilt.
LUCKY you, Robyn..what a gorgeous heirloom!!!
Do you know the approximate date on this quilt? It is definitely gorgeous. I'm wondering if it might have been a kit from the 20's or so. No real knowledge just a stab in the dark. You are so lucky to have it. The antique quilt I would have had was lost during my Dad's last military move.
Your grandmother's quilt is beautiful! So glad the stain came out too.
Thank you for the story of your successful transformation! I have quilts from my grandmother that are stained and I thought there was no hope of ever getting them clean again.
Lucky lady...your grandmother's quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us!
The pattern name of your beautiful quilt is "Coxcomb and Currants".
That looks a lot like Hawaiian bread fruit. My cousin has a gorgeous hand made one that she bought in Hawaii a few years ago.
The antique quilt is beautiful and so special....thank goodness it ended up in an appreciative home!
I don't know the name of it. It could possibly have been designed by the maker out of different components.

You are so lucky with this special quilt!
