Default What would you do?

My father, 93 asked me to repair a quilt I made 9 years ago. First time ever that I have seen so many fabric pieces torn, become thin and the white fabrics dull. This quilt is beyond fixing, due to over washing it and he takes a nap on it several times daily. He gave me the quilt and its not worth my time trying to fix it. I am making him a new one without his knowledge and hoping to get it done by Christmas. Possible if I can stay motivated...tough as I still have so much going on but possible. My sister disagrees with me and said if he asked you to fix it...just fix it. I am not going to. I am debating of not bringing over the old one...I would like to throw it out. I know he will love the new one as it is more his style. I made the first one with my mothers style and it was a gift to her. Would you bring both quilts over or just gift wrap up the new one? I doubt he has attachment to quilt, besides the fact I made it.
