Good suggestions here. I too have a quilt that is stored right now. That has a couple of place needing the fabrics replaced. I figure when I know more about quilting and get better at it... then I'll attempt it. Mine's not tied though. I'm assuming that the ties make it both easier and perhaps somewhat harder to deal with. This is a very good question, and thanks to all of you who've been answering. BJ's not the only person on here who's curious about quilt restorations.
