My granddaughter and I made a quilt for her parents more than 10 years ago. I was asked to repair it a few years ago, but now they wanted me to repair it again. I said it was too far gone; at least the top was, so I gave them a new quilt. They said the new one was too "hard", and wanted their old soft quilt back. So I made a new top and will use the old back and batt to redo it. The back is partly poly, so that lasts forever.
