Default My mom's quilt, how can I preserve it?

My sister brought my mom's quilt home to my Dad's house and it is back on the bed in what washer bedroom. When I saw it, I thought how beautiful and what a lot of work all that hand embroidery was. The label I made for it is on it. When I looked closer though it has become dreadfully thin, there a couple of tears in the panel itself and the borders are very thin, the top one is completely open. I am wondering if I could just add another layer of batting, put on a new backing and finish with a new border. The original backing is a light blue with daisy flowers in it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I tried to download pictures but get a web acceleration error. Will try again later, heading off to work!
