I have a similar problem. My husband's grandmother pieced this top (not very well, either, but her sight was very bad.) There are many places where the fabric is totally raveled out for 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I have no earthly idea how old this top is, but it is very old. My question is, now what can I do to repair it. It was pieced by my son's great-grandmother. Of course, the easy thing to do would be to discard it, but that goes against everything I was taught and everything I feel. Of course, once repaired, the top would have to be HAND QUILTED! Jeanette
