Saving an Antique
My sister brought me this quilt after trying numerous places to have it fixed in her hometown. They all said they wouldn't touch it.
It was made by her grandmother-in-law many years ago and is an antique. It has some blocks that have frayed and she'd like me to repair them enough so that she doesn't lose the entire quilt.
She isn't a quilter herself, but she has seen my quilting was thinking that I could just do meandering over the frayed edges to tack them down, but I think I can do better than that.....I suggested that I use bias tape to sew the edges down that are loose, where there isn't enough material to just sew them by hand.
What ideas do you ladies have? Any input appreciated.
