I'm sorry, but I have to ask... Is this really what you want to do? Attach 20 beautiful, vintage, Dresdens that you have saved from a friend's mother's stash... to an old faded black comforter? Won't the black continue to fade in other places? Wouldn't you really rather make a nice new quilt out of them? Please forgive me if I am out of line... maybe the black comforter is nicer than what I envision from the description...
