I recently remade a quilt I made for my sister about 9 years ago. It was just large scrappy squares. I had hand tied it and not close enough. No binding, had "birthed" it. The polyester batting had detoriated. It was a large quilt and sis wanted it made into two smaller quilts. I cut it in half, removed the backing, used new batting, machine quilted about in a 1-1/2-inch diagonal grid, added binding. I love the two new ones much better than the original quilt.
