I was thinking that too. If part is in the middle fix that and cut off the damaged edge. Definitely worth saving!

every quilt deserves a chance to be repaired. With all the knowledge that flows thru this board someone will have the right answers. There are many many experts here. I can always find answers to that help me firgure out my problems. A wonderful group of ladies.

Some of those fabrics are from the 50's and maybe the 40's. I have some 50's scraps from when I was a kid that are very similar to some of those.

Your plan for fixing sounds good to me. Try to replace the bad pieces with repro or vintage fabrics if possible. Good luck and post a picture of it when you are done.

A piece of Art, and yes quilts are art, is always worth saving.....if not as a full size quilt, could be cut down to a tabletopper, doll quilts, pillows....but by all means try to save it.....

I just rescued a quilt for a friend of mine that was tied. I was afraid if I took out all of the ties it would leave holes. Most of them had pulled through on the back & it needed a new back & binding. I decided to put a new back on without taking off the old one- I really thought the whole thing would fall apart if I took it all apart. I did take off the binding though. It was a lot of work to get it flat enough to quilt. I then FMQ little circles around where each tie was. I really love how it came out- especially the back with all of the little circles in a pattern. It was more work than I thought, but I was glad to have saved a quilt.

If you have to take the back off, you might be able to salvage pieces from it to use for repairing the damaged blocks on the front. Just a thought...

Can you cut a large enough section and just frame it. They look really cool that way.

Fix it or use it for a cutter quilt to make something pretty. I has very pretty fabrics and colors. Have fun. Please share with us when you are done.

I would try very hard to fix it. I could never give up on a quilt unless I did everything I could to fix it.
