Very pretty and glad you were able to save it.

Just so sweet!!

I kinda like the idea of using paper towel for the foundation! It wouldn't be 'crinkly' like other papers and could be left in the quilt. Since you have now taken this quilt apart, what is your critique of that? Realizing there are different grades of paper toweling--but some are almost fabric quality, not just paper.

How wonderful of you to do this. What a treasure.

I think using paper towels are fine, but I would remove them before sandwiching.

Great job! Most of my grandmother's quilts were tied with yarn. They did not last. The floppiness caused them to wear out. Your repair made this quilt better than the original. Bravo!

Beautiful job and I love the wonkiness. It's what makes it real.

My MIL made quilts for my 3 children like this many years ago. I kept one of them and it needs repair. I have just never thought about doing anything with it. You have inspired me! My daughter will love to get it back repaired, she is such a sentimental gal about these kinds of things. thank you so much for posting!

So happy you were able to repair this quilt as it is definitely a treasured heirloom.

What a gracious job you did and how meaningful for the recipient.
