I myself would not be able to part with it if it were my first quilt. But you must decide, then be happy with your decision. It is beautiful, and requilting would give new life to it. How about holding onto it, and whenever (in the future) someone admires it, give it to him/her. You may have a stash of quilts which we are not aware of; I don't. I have one quilt that I did several years ago (use it on my bed for everyday) and one that I recently quilted (I have only just learned to quilt on my LA) which I intend to keep because I did it. I don't have any problem giving my quilts away and don't hold onto them in my mind either. Someone occasionally asks me if I remember that so and so quilt I gave them years ago--Nooooooooo, can't remember. But I did that with sewing that I did before I started the quilting phase of my life. When it is out of my hands, it is out of my mind.....
