Now, I have a quilt top that DH grandmother made 30 years ago, then after a fire 17 yrs ago and bad washing decisions, an amish friend quilted it.
Now the fabric is falling apart. Because of who made it and the history of it, I hate to just throw it out. What would you do with it?
My kids don't really want it, and DH said whatever I decide is ok.
Thirty yrs. ago I inherited a log cabin quilt that had wool red block centers and the remainder of the fabric was recycled clothing. When I picked it up in fell in pieces, moths had eaten many of the centers and the rest of the was too fragile t reconstruct. I carefull detached the blocks that had remained intact, took them to a frame shop and had them framed in acid free matting & glass. For the past 22 yrs. they have adorned the walls of my home and will for a long time to come.
Good Luck with your heirloom...
