I repaired an antique quilt my great grandmother made. Like Tartan, I had to take some blocks out and substitute others, making the quilt smaller. I used the backing fabric for a border, so the whole top was at least original fabric. I repaired seams by hand, and appliqued over small holes. I the layered it with new batting ad backing and utility quilted it. It was for me, so a labor of love. (Un)fortunately, I have another one to do!
