I have inherited an old Lone Star quilt top that measures 60 inches wide. The patches in the ring at the base of the star points has stretched so it is wrinkled when laid flat. I would like to applique the top to new fabric in order to preserve the top and display it in my home. Should I leave the wrinkles in or try to reshape the stretched patches?

You should be able to block it back into shape. Take a look at Sharon Schamber's method:

Edit: I just did a search. Here is a link to Part 2:
