I had this idea myself. There is no part on the top without some damage. The back seems pretty much intact. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. A do-able. Strange thing to me is I just started two with similar patterns but much larger pieces.
I thought of encasing the entire thing in nylon netting to hold it together.
BTW I have 3 more made by the same GGG in various stages of disrepair.
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. I truly appreciate you all so much.
