The two photos above are a quilt my mom sent me to repair for my step-dad. I am open to any suggestions in doing this. It isn't bad, but it does have some holes in the borders around the squares.
This quilt is a king sized quilt that was made for my step-dad by his grandmother. All the pinwheels are hand sewn as all of the squares are. The border is sewn with a sewing machine and even the binding is hand sewn with the smallest of stitches.
My mom told me to sell it and use the money for what I needed, but I think I will repair it and continue to hand it down to my grandchildren.
The batting? Wool stuffing from their sheep they raised. The age of this quilt has to be over 60 years old.
