The fabric on both seems to be in very good condition other than the few tea stains on some of the flannel pieces. Just a reminder as to why I too must be a tea lover. LOL. I am only a tea drinker as is my Mom and her Mom. No coffee here. I could probably stitch in the ditch. Never thought about doing that. I think I am going to take them to the quilt shop up North of me for some advice. She is a super lady and would not steer me wrong. She is a sister to one of our very good and dear friends. Thanks for all the input. You all have my wheels turning now. My Mom I think started sewing them together around two of the edges so I best get to ripping....... carefully of cours......
