How wonderful your quilts are. I just started attending a quilt class with some ladies that restore old quilts, I happened to see one that was fixed and she said not to try to put new fabric on old, it wouldn't last long. I can't remember what she did ( I didn't have a reason to listen to closely, at the time) I will try to get some information for you if you would like me to. It will be a couple of weeks before I go back to the class, though. I have no quilters in my heritage, so no old family quilts either, but my sister found some appliqued and embroidered blocks that my grandmother had made, looks to be '30's fabrics, and she gave them to me. I will have to finish some of them. Even those mean so much to me. So happy for you.
