so, everyone offered words of advice fixing grandma's bouquet. i re-did all of the flowers...freshened the bouquet...then placed a piece of tule over the center piece and re-quilted it...it turned out great and i believe it will hold up to her scootching around on it :thumbup:
thanks for all the help :-D
