A great salvage job

Whoa. If someone had handed this quilt to me to be fixed I would have fainted. You certainly have risen to the occasion!

What a labor of love. Most of us would have turned back with fear and great trepidation. You have done a spectacular work on this project.

What a nice person you are to tackle that hot mess! It seems like it would have been a whole lot easier to start fresh than try to salvage those odd ball pieces!! It had to have been purposely ripped apart by something or someone. I would ask your coworker to give her son a good talking to about caring for a handmade quilt before you let this out of your hands!

You are doing a wonderful job on it. I have had people ask me to repair quilts but I refused because I didn't know where to start.

Wow, great salvage. I wouldn't have any tried!

That is all most as bad as I've seen and to get it remade is a major project, job well done.
I have one I made for a DIL in the early 1990's ,through use and bad laundering it is falling apart.
She passed away in 2003, I found it in a throw away box, laundered it ,have it waiting for the day I can rework it. To many memories still raw for now.

Wow, the original quilt looks like it was left in the parking lot of a truck stop for several years. Yikes - I would have said that was unfixable. I am in awe of that fact that you even took on the task, but even more so by what you have accomplished!

Oh! I also meant to say that using older, well laundered fabrics like your scrubs and items from Good Will is pure genius! New fabric would not have looked right. I still can't get over what you've done!

You are braver than I am. I looked at that quilt and thought nothing could be done to save it. but you did a great job. Good work.
