Beautiful job! Sometimes we have to do what we can just to preserve it and make it what it was intended to be. A quilt to use and love.

Under your careful ministrations, it will be ready for a new life. That was certainly worth your efforts. Very pretty.

For now I'm just going to hang it on the balcony railing (inside) and admire the vintage fabrics and design. Later on it may find another home. At least it's not shut away in a box anymore.

Sounds like a plan. It is too pretty to hide away somewhere.

Looks gorgeous and you did a wonderful job on it. I like hanging it on the balcony and just looking at it. Fragile quilts should not be used. Just the way I think.
