What's a reasonable outcome for old quilts like this? Burn it like an old flag that's served its purpose or what?
Thanks for any insight, been hanging on to these for a decade now.

By all means, I would try to find a way to at least preserve the remainders by either finding a good area that you can cut and bind of it and put it in a sealed frame for a wall display.... also, I have a friend who did "teddy bears" from them with the moveable joints, and she gave the bears to the grand kids ( also, do label with the info you know)... I have seen some great blocks framed on display at some quilt shops in our area....
