It is a Bonnet girl pattern. I posted the top on my blog. Now I need to get it together and quilted.<br />Check it out.

I Put it in a squirt bottle and wet the stain with it and let it sit overnight. <br /><br />Just blot the stain out the next day.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098119988513096499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102701738483483191.post-46317773474484262042010-05-25T17:17:46.651-04:002010-05-25T17:17:46.651-04:00I love this quilt and I loved that you saved it.
