Here are pictures of the quilt I found at the Good Samartian-Goodwill. There are a couple of tears and one of them are the way thru. There are stains on it too. Enjoy, cause this quilt is beautiful, it is all hand stitched.

I agree! Congrats to you for finding it.

If you are just going to display it perhaps leave it but if you plan on using it than I would fix it. Just my thought.

A couple of little butterflies appliqued on there would look as if they were always there. Just find the right fabric and go for it.

WOW - what a beautiful quilt. You are a very lucky lady and the quilt is very lucky that you rescued it.

It's beautiful. A lot of work went into making that.

I'm so glad you rescued that gorgeous quilt!

Absolutely beautiful quilt. I like the butterflies to hide the rips. I would try washing it and maybe soak in ozyclean. Then I would put it on display. I would threaten anyone's life if they try to use it.
