[ATTACH=CONFIG]604082[/ATTACH]If it means a lot to her, then I think you should tackle the project, I sent you a PM to let you know how I did the one recently for a lady who was also very attached to the same kind of quilt. I used netting under the top, to stabilize it and added lace in those areas where it was really worn out. The quilt had not been squared up, so I left it just as it was, not wanting to disturb the original to very much. I would freshen up the batting, removing the old and putting in new, then put new backing on the back - she and her husband loved it. They wanted to pay more, however I was in a generous mood the day of delivery.
