I bought a partially hand quilted quilt. It is a mini trips around the world, made of older fabrics. Some look to be feed sack, but some are newer (1940's). It is about half way hand quilted with poly fiberfill in the middle, and the clinker is they used an old sheet on the back that is terribly stained. The stain is not on the front of the quilt. The quilt top colors are vibrant and bright. The hand quilting is not particularly good. I am tempted to take out the hand quilting to save the top and have it machine quilted with something like warm and natural in the middle and new backing. I have never hand quilted.
Sorry I cannot post a picture of the quilt. What do you think I should do? I do not know who made the quilt or any of it's history. I just bought it because I loved the bright colors, and I knew someone loved it a lot to make the top.
