    haha You are doing a marvah-luss job!!! I have one that was hand pieced/sewn and hand quilted. my husband commissioned a co-worker to make me a quilt 15 yrs or so ago. he knew nothing about quilting, neither did I and she did despite the fact that he couldn't tell her what colors I preferred, how big to make it. long story short . . the quilt is not quite that bad. but the hand sewing did not hold up well. we used it on beds, couches and the shabby looking quilt is still used. and so warm. now I feel I might be able to make it look nice again. great job! and thanks for showing us! it's encouraging Ginny

    Yikes. You are so good to repair it. I will confess I'd be tempted to toss it in the trash.
