I am getting ready to give DM's Double Wedding Ring quilt to my 3rd cousin as a wedding gift.
Her GM is my closest first cousin and her GGM was my favorite aunt.
I have no females to pass it on to and it was made by my DGM in about 1960.
I know Mama (DGM) washed all fabrics to check colorfastness, but I want to wash it to brighten it up. Any suggestions on the best soap and which way to dry is now recommended.
As for the folk lore I know Mama told me that the gold and purple squares at each 'corner' and a red piece in each arch meant different things.
Does anyone know what these are symbols for?

Thanks in advance
Sidney
