I sure hope you have a good talk with him regarding your mom's quilt. He may have an attachment to it that no one else is aware of. I would bring both with you, that way you can show him all the damage, and explain why he is getting a new quilt, and let him give the input if he wants something else made from the old quilt. He may have zero attachment to it and say throw it in the trash. I would be prepared for either reaction.
