Seedless varieties of water
melons have been around for 50

• Gently squeeze
out excess water—do
not wring the quilt. Lay
quilt out flat on absor
bent towels and lightly
press out as much
water as you can.
• On brjght, dry
days, dry the quilt out
doors. Place it face
down on a sheet or a
cotton mattress pad
and .out of direct sun
light. Cover with
another cotton sheet.
To dry a quilt indoors,
lay it flat on towels and
aim an electric fan
over the surface. Nev
er place a quilt on a
line to dry, as uneven
distribution of weight
can weaken the fabric
and stitching.

on the fabric, then
press firmly with a
white blotter, check
several spots and
repeat with a little
water mixed with
detergent. If no color
appears on the blot
ter, the quilt can be
washed;
• Soak the quilt for
about 30 minutes in a
bathtub filled with
lukewarm water.
Drain the water, with
out removing the quilt,
and then refill, adding
about half a cup mild,
liquid dish detergent
such as Ivory. Gently
agitate from time to
time for about 30
minutes. Drain and
refill the tub with cool
water several times
until all evidence of
soap is rinsed away.
• If bleaching is
necesary, use half a
cup per half-tubful of
water of a dilute solu
tion of oxgen bleach
(such as Clorox 2).
Soak for about 15 to
20 minutes, then
repeat the detergent
bath and rinse. (Old
stains may be set for
good, and trying too
zealously remove
them can damage the
quilt).
