Silk and wool quilt help
Okay, coaches, what now. I have made a Daddy's Ties quilt from our late son-in-laws ties. Have used his wool blazer and a grey pair of pants for the borders. Now, it needs to be cleaned. Can it be washed or should I send it to the dry cleaners? Believe me cutting silk ties is not easy. I made the dresden plate with 44 pieces in the middle. I do not think that I would do another one.
Thank you for any help.

If you prewashed you should be able to get away with a gentle hand wash. If not try the drycleaners. Be sure and air it well if you go the dry-cleaning route....the stuff they use is pretty toxic and can cause headaches/allergic response in some people.
