I have a very old quilt. Blue and white 8in squares. Tied. My dh wants me to retie some of the squares and put new binding on it. The binding is pretty much open all the way around. Still sewed on, but the edge is split. What is the right way to care for these old quilts. I got it from an old friend and we use it in the winter, and only washed it once. We use it, but so as no to get it dirty. Any advice is welcome.. Thanks
