Ladies, I have a very old quilt top that was hand stitched by my great aunt many years ago. I figure it to be somewhere around 50-60 years old, not sure. It was among my mothers sewing stuff, which I have had the mid 1970's. There are about a dozen hexs that have moth holds. A couple are fare size the rest are small & can be seen at close. Have thought of backing it with a knit fusable interfacing, (the whole top or just the ones that have holes or replace the damaged ones). Am looking for the best way to preserve it. It isn't very big, 65"x82".
