I love these older quilts - have refurbished many! On the yoyo I inherited, I replaced all pieces that were frayed or very warn with as close to the same fabric as possible, then I re-stitched each and every one back onto their row. I then put a sheet back onto it, each yoyo had a small dot of yarn inside as I made it a tie-quilt. Sure is a heavy one - rarely used, so rarely having to be cleaned.
