I agree that it would be a big undertaking to pick it apart at this stage and replace the problem fabric - but do you want to deal with it for the life of the quilt?
I totally I agree with this. I had this happen to a really pretty quilt I made for someone. We were both crushed when *some* of the fabrics started to disintegrate. I ultimately decided not to fix it, because I knew more problems could come later. I honestly couldn't tell why some fabrics fell apart and some didn't – they were all from the same manufacturer.
