I have a stack of quilts I made 30+ years ago sitting in our back bedroom. They have been returned to me for repair. Many of them have the problem of not being quilted close enough together. There are several I can repair and a few that I can't. I may be able to take a couple apart and re-do the quilts that way. I will pull them out from time to time to think about starting to work on them then I see the problem and that stops me. I even bought a new seam ripper to do the job so I have a nice and sharp seam ripper waiting for me. Then I am just not in the mood to try. I have been looking at these for 3 years now.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story and this very strong quilt.
