Default what do you do with a worn out quilt

I have 2 worn out quilts. One, I made for my son when he was in Jr high and he took it to college (washer/dryer, etc) and then when he travelled to other Russia to teach baseball. He gave it back a few years ago and said "mom, can you fix it??" It is in shreads. The second was made for my wedding to my second husband who wrapped himself in it in the bright sunshine for several years after he had his stroke and could no longer move around much. It is terribly faded.

Do I burn them like old flags?? Somehow the trash seems disrespectable. We have brush burn piles on our land and I could burn them -- sort of like a funeral pyre.
