Too much loved quilts....
#13
I was so startled when I saw this quilt as it is almost identical to one my son had . My MIL made it by hand for him as a baby/little boy. He loved it SO much that I repaired it many times and finally it started to disintegrate. I took a picture of it for the scrapbook.
I encased it in new fabric, but it just wasn't the same. He was so sad, I asked him if he wanted to give it to a doggy who was cold and needed it. We went to an animal shelter and he picked out who would receive it, and everyone was happy.

You did a great job. I visited my brother recently and came home with a quilt I made him many years ago. It is falling apart. I think I will cut it down to crib-sized to give to charity. I have repaired other quilts, but this process is not my favorite or my best work. Kudos to you!
