I just got my GGD's quilt back for repair. I made it as a QAYG quilt 5 years ago. The front looks fine but the flannel on the back looks like it is just disintegrating at the seams. The label is almost completely unreadable (ink jet print).

I'm learning some very important things about FMQ having had this quilt and another one to repair. Quilts that are not that old. The main lesson, for me, is to quilt over the seams. On this one, the sashing was quilted down but that left the fabric next to the seams vulnerable. So more quilting in the future.

This quilt will need a new back. Maybe Minky. Otherwise, I will have to add a new batting and backing and quilt it again. While with the Minky, I would be able to just quilt the sashing going over the seams from the front. (The photo on the bottom represents the correct color.)

I have never done this on a large quilt (the other quilt I repaired was a baby quilt). I will bring the Minky to the front as I do not believe removing the binding is a good idea.

Anyone else have this problem? If so, would love your input. I will have to order the Minky so will have time to ponder this problem.
