Hi Susan, I learned my lessons about minimal quilting from the quilts I inherited from Rob's great grandmother. She was an exceptional piecer, but hated quilting. so her solution was tying at the corners, every 4 or 5 inches. Looks great until the quilts were washed. Because there was so much slack between the ties there is a great deal of shifting around in the wash. I disassembled three of her quilts, saved what I could and made wall quilts. Anyway...tieing or quilting, there has to be enough of it to keep shifting from happening.

I look forward to a happy solution to your poor quilt. Are there any band-aid fabrics?
