    A friend of mine will put a patch to match what is torn.
    She will hand needle turn it, trying to match the shape.
    She does not try to take the original apart to re-piece it with other fabric.
    I believe it is because it has a higher value if left as is under the patch.... as original.
    I would imagine that one could make note somewhere with the quilt of the areas that were covered.
    Anyway it is a wonderful quilt.
    Others say they wish that quilts could talk....there would be quite a story.
    Thank you for sharing this.
