Default Really Need your Help!

I was asked to repair a memory quilt that was made for a special need young man a few years ago, after looking at it I told him I would make him a new one but he wants this quilt as it was made for him by a good friend that has passed away, so it is dear to him..

what do I do to fix this? It is a tie quilt so there is no quilting on it and it was done by sewing around and turning it so no binding. I started cutting the ties off and have most cut off. I now don't know what to do with it, they gave me the original pictures so I could try and get them back on the quilt. I really don't know how to go about getting the pictures on fabric either so this should be a lot of fun NOT, I'm not sure how to go about repairing this. the quilt is in good condition as far as I can tell, it also has a very heavy batting in it , sometimes it would be so much easier to just make a new quilt but in this case he wants this one..I think I will regret taking this on as I am in the dark as what to do..

Do you think I could just sew a new block right over the old one and then try and do some quilting to finish it off?

HELP Please, what do I do..I hate to disappoint this young man

What would you do? any suggestions
