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.
