I have an attachment to old quilts. i have purchased some that need help. I haven't gotten to it. I hope to learn some repair techniques when i get to it. Most of them are in such bad shape they are not really worth the time or effort if you were interested in monetary return. I agree though that they should be loved and if they can be saved with alittle work and you will love them when done, why not do it?
Good luck and look forward to pictures.
