Advice Needed - take the whole quilt apart?
My mother-in-law recently completed a quilt top. For her 90th birthday, I agreed to quilt it, so I brought the top, a batting that she'd chosen. and her backing fabric home. She has macular degeneration and when I actually looked at the back of the quilt - Arrggghh! I believe the individual pieces were cut out using a pattern - but they don't all seem to be the same size. No piecing seam is 1/4" - it's different between each two pieces of fabric. The quilt is made up of 12 large blocks (16" I think) with sashing and blocks between. I've taken one strip of 4 blocks off and thought I'd start by working on that, but there are a couple of individual pieces that have a tuck/pucker in them. The back of the quilt was never ironed. It's a mess!
Soooo. What's your suggestion? Do I need to take the whole quilt apart (it will take forever to take the stitches out), or just try to get it done as is, or is there some other remedy that you can think of?
