Dirty Quilt Corners
#1
In the process of binding a new quilt for a customer, the corners of the quilt have become dirty. (Just the bound corners.) How would you clean them? Would you was the whole quilt? If so, how? Or, would you wash only the corners? and how would you do that. The fabric was not pre-washed.

Or did the customer deliver it to you in that condition?

And if it came that way ... I'd tell the customer and let her decide.
How dirty are these corners?

Well, I don't do them for customers but none of my gift quilts are ever given without being washed. They naturally get a bit "icky" from unwashed fabric through to completed quilt and need a wash IMO. Plus I want to be sure nothing is going to come apart and I like the crinkled look.

She has not seen it yet. It is complete except for the dirty corners.
