Thread: HELP trying to repair quilts with large cigarette burns...

So the question really is: do you want to repair these quilts? I have relatives who are smokers, and I still love them. If one of my smoking relatives were having this problem, I think what I'd do is make sure there was a smoke detector in the room for a real fire. And then I'd find some kind of material that doesn't burn through, and I'd make a blanket for her out of that material to put over her bedding, so the bedding doesn't catch on fire or make holes in the quilts. And then I'd patch the quilts as nicely as possible. And I'd do it because I loved her.

LOL, that is a great idea, people should never smoke in bed. She has been lucky she hasn't burned herself up!!!! I would tell her when you quit smoking I'll fix the quilts!!!

Great idea! My daughter was a heavy smoker, and her furniture and bedding were covered with cigarette burns. She is lucky she didn't burn the house down! By appliquéing a "no smoking" sy
