If quilts are used as a cover for warmth on a bed, what does it matter if it is faded? It can be covered in the day with your favorite quilt of the day which is not faded. I believe in using things up. If you don’t want to use it on a bed, how about a picnic blanket, an emergency blanket in your car or perhaps a dog blanket? What about children’s playtime over a card table as a hiding place? I couldn’t bring myself to throw away a faded quilt with lots of use left in it.

Depending upon what it is (quilt or topper) - you can dye, ice dye, markle/shiva paint sticks though stencils, inktense, bobbin work, embroider, applique, skin it or remove the quilting and re-quilt perhaps with big stitch with bright bold colours. Hardest bit is to take that first step.
