I had quilt to mend that a lady's mother had made before she died. It was a simple scrap quilt out of squares and tied. A lot of the blocks had frayed and pulled out at the seams. I finally took it apart, resewed all the seams for a smaller quilt and retied. I would rather have made a new one and it would have been quicker. She was thrilled to have her quilt repaired and I smiled sweetly and promised myself, never again!
