I so totally agree. Some things are just best left alone. A quilt that aged would be used only for display I think. The appraiser might have suggestions on the best way to display the quilt while preserving it at the same time. What an heirloom.
Would she let us see pictures? If she will, will you get as many close-up shots as you can. I would love to see it. Thank-you for sharing.
