recently, I pulled out the quilt grandma made for me. She died a year after gifting it. Not all the cousins got one. But she made sure I got one because I sewed-a lot. I was very careful with it. My daughter used it a couple years. But that's it. It's been carefully stored. Now 58 years old. The black dye on some pieces has destroyed the fabric. It was a plaid and where the black strips were is totally gone. The rest is fine.
Still not interested in using is. But I remember her fondly when I get it out. And remember the sewing we did together.
Fix it? No. Why would I?
