What a pain but not too bad
#1
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.

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.....)
