I too have some quilts to repair. This is not for the monetary value, but because my mother made them! Can I use newer fabics to replace the worn out fabrics? Mom used a lot of clothing to make her quilts with and I loved seeing my old dresses, etc. appear in a quilt. Many are more than 50 years old, so I would love to restore them for my grandkids to enjoy. What is your opinion of doing this?
