Is it worth saving?
#1
My friends friend bought this quilt at a yard sale a long time ago. Neither friend wants it now that it is in such bad shape. A few of the squares are just gone but most do not look too bad to mem but what do I know. I have only been a quilter for a few months.
I am thinking I can snip the ties, replace the rotten squares and put on a new batting and back. I would like your opinion. Do you think I would be wasting my time? Also wondering if you can get a feel for its age. Thanks for looking Bj

Are all the problems around the edges of the quilt? Is the rest of the backing okay? If so you might just cut off the edges, re-bind it, and not have to do any more work. From the pictures it does look like it's worth saving.

I'd definitely repair it. I rescued one recently fromt the 20 to 30's and I have to repair part of it and just got stuff to get the aging stains out of it. This quilt still has alot of long years of comfort to give.
