My brother in law has a quilt that his grandmother made. So its getting old. I would guess it was made in early 1960's.
It has been through the ringer and he just don't want to let it go. My sis asked me if I could patch it, just to keep it alive and around. They are thinking to use it as a utility quilt. They know it's had a good life, but still want to hang onto it.
I have some ideas, but I know you guys and gals here are full of alot of good information.
Here are some pictures... holes completely through. No applique will solve this

. I am thinking just patch the spots with big blocks of fabric. Possibly putting in some more batting.
What do you guys think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]550659[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]550660[/ATTACH]
