I'm not sure tulle would hold up well. It tears easily. After looking up the crepeline someone mentioned I think I would try that first. a lightweight vinyl would also protect it and help her "slide" but I'm not sure i would want it on a quilt. Maybe way you could baste it down so it would be temporary.
The quilt is beautiful.

i think i'm going to try the tule...i will find a piece the size of the whole center area, and quilt over the top of it...i'm not sure how to deal with the edges quite yet...thinking maybe turn under and sew a piece of fabric around it (like a sashing/border) then sew that to the quilt...after the quilting. i will figure out that part after i get the tule...
new experimentation! i will let you all know how it goes!
thank you for all of your advice.

I'm all in favor of machine quilting the center. Your goal is for her to be able to enjoy it to its fullest. When I made my elderly mother her quilt, machine stitching was essential because she scootched too! It's too beautiful to hide away and the repairs of rips, cuts, and scootching all tell a great tale!
