Can I stuff it with fabric scraps? I have plenty of those!
LOL!!! :D
I, too, hate disrupting antiquey things by altering them, but so many of the things we worry about -- yes, even some quilts -- actually have little monetary value, mostly just intrinsic value (what it's worth to you personally, memories, etc.). Theredore, since you are unlikely to think of selling it, or turning it in to a museum somewhere, I'd actually say, do remake it for a modern purpose. Sometimes that's more "loving" than neglecting it in a box in storage in the name of "saving" it.
