Well, now, that's a well loved quilt. I sure hope you can find a way to preserve most of it.

Ok my. You just have to try and repair that. It is truly a treasure.

What a find! I liked the framed idea for quilts that can't be repaired.

Very cool and well worth repairing...that way it's multigenerational.

I agree about repairing. I'm no expert, but did a repair to one very similarly damaged for my Mom....and now it is on a bed where it belongs instead of in a closet. Hope you will give it a try because this is an amazing quilt ....done by an obviously talented quilter. Beautiful.

Great find. Hope you can save it. I have 3 tops that my grandmother made that are well over 100 years old, and I have been afraid to start on them. I don't want to take away from her lovely work. Before my Mom passed, she was able to point out pieces in them from some of her school clothes. They are just great scrappy's. I want to finish one for each of my siblings
