We used it for years and years and years and as things do it got tattered and worn and started to come apart in places.

So, now that I'm officially learning to sew, I want to repair it. How best to start? Machine stitch the repairs? Pull the backing off and repair the front, then replace the backing and re-quilt it. That is "if" it was quilted originally. I can't remember. I haven't seen it in years.

When my wife gets home I think I'll ask her where it's at and dig it out and see.

Oh, we'll be married 29 years this Feb 26th. Where in the world does time go?
