How do I fix this old quilt top?
IThis old quilt top is mostly hand pieced and had insets on the outside of rotting bedsheets. Thinking I could simply replace the insets, I removed them, used them as a template, cut new, and stitched them in. Removed them. Restitched, and on and on. None of the insets are the same size, and from the photographs you can see the star is far more full in some areas than others and will not lay flat. The photos show this quilt top with a pin in the center of the red star and one at the inside peak of the iinsets. Any suggestions without totally ditching it disassembling the entire top? Thanks in advance for your insightful and helpful suggestions.
