All of the quilts in our family are vintage. Many were in cedar chests and when my Mother passed, I decided they needed to be loved. My four daughters and two granddaughters all love quilts so we divided them up. There are still a few in the cedar chest (now in storage) but when we quit RVing and have a stick house, they will be hung on the quilt rack. I am repairing several that the girls were given when they set up housekeeping so they have been used for 20+ years. I was buying some material at JoAnn's one day, 1/4 yd. and the cutter asked if I was making a quilt. I replied I was repairing vintage quilts. The "lady" behind me said, "Oh, don't do that. You will ruin the value." I replied, "Value isn't the point, comfort and love is." As I headed to the door, two ladies came up to me and asked if I was interested in repairing some they had. I told them I had plenty to do in my own family.
