This quilt belongs to one of my nieces
It was made by my Mom who was her grandmother
She is in her 20s and wont part with it even in this bad shape
This was a baby duck
O
It was adorable but the fabric is so worn
And threadbare
And even holey in places
She wants to keep it and wants me to try and fix it
There is little batting left
Its a mess
Has anyone ever done quilt repairs?
Where do I start?
I was thinking of appliqueing the pieces that i can trying to find something of my Moms in my stash or something close
And maybe layering it on top of a batt and back and quilt it heavily to hold?
Help!!!!!
Anyone?????
Carol @ https://frommycarolinahome.com/ has a tab for her vintage quilt repair. I can tell you, but her tutorials and posts are visual and will help you better.

Yikes! I wouldn't know where to start but I hope you can figure it out. That is such a sweet and special piece.
