Hello Everyone!
I posted this almost a year ago and I promised to post the final results. Well, here it is! I took on this project because a co-worker's son wanted to 'save' a quilt that his great-grandmother made for him 24 years ago. I told him I'd do what I can and this is it. The first picture is what he gave me to work with; the second picture is what I was able to salvage. It's not as beautiful as the ones I've seen posted here but he is VERY HAPPY! Thanks for all the encouragement you gave me!!

Looks like you did a great job!

You did good!! That finished quilt is very pretty.

Wow! That is a labor of love. What a treasure. Sometimes a quilt is more about who gave it to you than the particulars of the sewing. I'm sure he is very happy!

OMGosh! THAT is a work of wonder! You did an awesome job, I don't think I could have figured out what to do. Good for you!!!!

Looks good. I wondered what I was going to see after that first picture! haha Made sense after I read the story.

That is amazing!! You did a fantastic job with nothing but scraps!

You did an amazing job. BrendaK

Very nice - quite a transformation. Beautiful story behind this quilt.

You worked wonders!

Wow. That is one nice save!

You did a wonderful job on this quilt. The way you saved it, and with it still having pieces that was what his great grandmother had in it. I just showed the picture to my husband, and he thought that was so nice. Bless you for what you did.:)

I wouldn't know where to start. But, you did a marvelous thing. It's wonderful you helped him hang onto his Granny's quilt. Quilted with love.

I have one to do for my husband. His grandmother made it for him. It looks as bad if not worse. You have given me hope that I might be able to do it. Thanks. Yours look incredible.

If they give Oscars for quilting an impossible top, then you have earned it. You did a great job on this poor old top.
