Thread: Great Grandmother quilt 1930's

here are the pics for my great grandmothers quilt.
I am unsure if I should try and fix it or just try and preserve it as it is

the back is all rotting it just fall apart

here is one of the fabrics that is rotting

the quilt
Made of Domino sugar bags, feed sacks, and my grandmothers elementary school dresses

I can't tell from the photos whether it was quilted or tied.If tied, it will be a lot easier to repair. It will be a big job, but you're preserving history.

it is "quilted" see that single straight line stitch running through the block on the second pic

there is one on every block but only on the block
(my family wasnt known for their quilting but they were poor and practical lol)

I don't know the best thing to do, but just wanted to say it is an awesome quilt.

You certainly have a fantastic
treasure, in your Great Grand
Mother's quilt!! :D I am not sure
what I would do with it, other
than love it to piece's!!
:D :D :D :D :D

Sorry I can't help, but what a treasure

You sure have a wonderful quilt there. Do you have a Quilt Museum or a Quilt Restoration Center? If not look on line. They can tell you how to restore it or to perserve it so nomore damage will happen to it.

I think I would try to repair it...........and then I would put it on a bed so I could see it everyday! :D

Since it is so simply "quilted" I would be all over taking that apart and repairing it and properly quilting it. It is lovely.

What a treasure! I love all the different fabrics and feed sacks. Good luck restoring that beauty!
