not so quick.. I had a neighbor who has since passed away at 93.. In her day she was a beautiful quilter but illness and disease took its toll. she continued quilting although it looked more like a 4 yr old did it.. I would loved and cherished to have a quilt from her even after things beyond her control took over. She made them out of love even when she was ill

We should not be so quick to judge. Who knows the quilter's situation... The fact that the recipient of the quilt cared for it enough to ask someone to repair it is worthwhile. And both the quilter and recipient were fortunate to have found someone to repair it who took such care!

Perhaps it was a wall hanging or intended to be a "look at only" quilt. The maker might not have intended for it to ever be washed but dry cleaned only when needed.
You my dear are an ANGEL to go to all that work for a co-worker . I do hope you were well compensated for your hard work.
