MIL was going to throw away.Quilt not wanted. Yours to do what you want.Sweat shirt; a very nice idea; but will not hold up to all the stress. Please concider leaving whole for awhile longer. Don't rush.Those antique fabrics are hard to find if repairing quilts, yours looks like you could repair. It's just getting older. Still, if not decided, will send my addy. Would love, love love to take off your hands! Do enjoy your quilt.
