Beautiful quilt. I would get advice on repairs from somebody with experience. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful gift. To repair or not, that's a tuffy. I have some 60 yr olds quilts that the binding is almost wore completely off but I just can't bear to change a thing on them, but I probably should.

Wow! How lucky you are. I think I would get a coffee table with a glass top and display it underneath it as is. It is a wonderful quilt.

I would definitely repair it. The sentimental value is priceless. It is an incredible gift with a wonderful story behind it.

Thank you for sharing.

An appraiser would probably tell you NOT to repair the quilt. If there are spots frayed (sp?) just cover them; do not remove any of the original fabric.
