A teacher from work (who does not sew) found out I make quilts. I've only been making them (or sewing for that matter) for about a year. She said she had a baby blanket that is 30 years old and could I mend it. I should have examined it before I took it home and I probably would not have tried to mend it. Anyway she wanted sturdy so that's what I tried to do.

that is all you can do is just fix it the best way, you did a great job and I am sure she will be happy

Wonderful, wonderful job! In my opinion, trying to make it square would have done damage. You did just the right amount of restoration. The teacher should be very happy! (And at the very least, treat you to a fancy dinner.....)

You should be very proud. You did the quilt wonders. Excellent repair job! It so much harder to repair then to make. :-)

You've given her back a cherished memory!

Looks good. I don't like to mend.

Good work on a cute quilt.

Oh very well done!! I hate to see quilts all raggedy. I know it happens with older quilts, but such a shame. You've done a really good job on giving this one a new lease of life, I hope it is appreciated.
