I'd try with some small fabric pieces using tea dye or diluted bleach until I got close enough to use. If the quilt is hand quilted, then you should do the same. If it's machine quilted then try on a sample to duplicate it and go for it. You have quite a challenge before you but you will feel really good when it is done.

Any blocks that can be salvaged from the removed row could be used to cover a pillow. Or, as you originally thought, make a teddy bear. Although it's ideal to try to save a quilt, sometimes it just isn't possible and we shouldn't feel guilty when it can't be done.

Looks like a huge challenge - good luck with the project. Let us see the results.

I would not chastise you AT ALL if you decided to make pillows out of the good blocks. Best of luck in whatever you decide.
