I was given an antique quilt that is not in such great shape and one partially quilted that someone had made trying to copy the old one. they used either original 20 and 30 prints or repros I don't know but tried to expand it to fit a bigger bed and put the most awful poly cotton blend as a wide border and as the back. So I ordered some wide backing fabric in a repro print and ripped off the ugly border and attached the repro print. Since the quilt was half quilted, I left the ugly backing fabric since no one will really see it anyway. Its basted and waiting to be quilted but looks so much better now. :!:
