A new friend of mine I was showing her my pillows i made out of T's and she works for old ladies so she brought me a full size quilt. I nearly passed out, I told her i couldn't accept such a prize. She said one of the ladies that she works for gave it to her and she had it for so long she can't remember who done it. Please look close, I tried to get the colors as close as possible. This is all hand stiched and the material looks so old. What should I do , let some one machine sew it? i'm not able to sew on my hands and I don't want it to be done wrong. Would it de-face it in any way to have it put together with a quilting machine? Does any one have an ideal how old the material is? That would give me an ideal of how old it is. ty
