Replace the boarder. All that business about adding new fabric making it no longer vintage is hooey. When my hair all fell out from chemo, then grew back....it did not make me any younger, trust me.

What a find!! Lovely! I would replace the border, but check that all the red is not becoming brittle before working too much on it? If it us - you could iron lightweight fuseable interfacing to the back of the red or all if the back.....

I would just replace the border and quilt it.

It will give it more life.

Haven't completed the job yet...the person who wants it needs to decide the 'flavor' of the second border.

Bottom line - another border and quilted. It cries out to be used!
