My husband thinks I am nuts to cut up brand new material and then sew it together so it doesn't look like it did when I bought it. I told him his grandpa did a lot of quilting in the evenings when everyone else went to bed. He made some really heavy ones that I think are wool and also some heavy cottons. they are like 75 years old. Have them upstairs and probably should get them down and clean them up and patch if necessary. I always dig right in and then I wonder did I do that right? won't ever totally go away.
