Antique quilt repair
A friend’s mom has asked me to “fix” the binding on this gorgeous quilt. It is at least 100years old, but look at those teals! It is a lovely piece, and overall, in good shape. The edges are badly worn, and there is a large hole in one corner. I think I can angle cut the corners so they all match, and just apply a new binding over the old. Color suggestions? I am thinking maybe a soft teal, but I don’t want it to look modern. Maybe I should purchase fabric and wash it several times before using? It would be great to find a buttery yellow that matches, but doubt that will happen.....
