Repairing an Antique Quilt
I just received an antique quilt made by my great great grandmother. It has several areas that appear to have just pulled away from the rest of the quilt. I would like to repair the quilt, but don't really know how to repair it. I also wonder if I should repair the quilt. It will be handed down to my son when the time is right. My dad remembers the family using this quilt when he was a little boy. The date on the quilt is 1922. It is all hand stitched and quilted. I have read some posts that suggest putting netting over the area, but this is not that kind of worn, others discuss adding a piece of fabric over the worn area, again not that kind of wear. Just looks like I could invisable stitch the individual layers together and then add a few quilting stitches to repair it. What would you do. Repair it and how? Not repair it at all? Or other suggestions.
