While sorting the scrap fabric from the gifted UFOs bin for laundering I found these two old Dresden plate blocks. They appear to be made mostly of feedsacks, and were a bit dingy. Because of their age I couldn't toss them in the washer.
Hand washing old fabrics takes a little time and trouble, but it's worth it to me. I set them in the handwashing bin to soak with some mild detergent and a splash of vinegar, and then hung them to air-dry.
This was mostly to see if the blocks would hold together after a wash, which they did, so I'm going to make them into spring throw pillows for the sofa in my home office.
