Thank-you for your reply Gayle ~ The fabric is only on the back thank-goodness. I thought about adding a new backing, actually. I wondered though about the black fabric continuing to shred but I guess it wouldn't matter it would in essence be just more batting material at that point?

Would you suggest I remove the binding that is on the quilt now...that will be a picking nightmare but definitely doable. It is sewn to the front and hand sewn on the back?

I do believe that all the front fabric is good. I did wash it myself and all the fabric on the front came through a gentle wash fine.

I guess too, that just a simple "S" curve stitch that is on my machine with the quilting foot attachment is something I could manage. As I've never attempted quilting anything larger than a wall quilt, which I stitched in the ditch.
