After a careful rinsing...and line dry...maybe some of the stitches could be gone over and holes patched (adding to the history of the quilt). Neat idea to fold over the edge to protect the face from the wool! Yes...I do like this quilt....thanks so much for sharing! :-)moosecrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309739222008330155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-35682746969066583622019-02-22T12:00:15.591-05:002019-02-22T12:00:15.591-05:00We never know what tomorrow brings, you may find o...We never know what tomorrow brings, you may find out the history of this very used quilt resulting in someone cherishing the poor thing because it came from the hands of a loved one.<br /> If it was me, My fear in keeping it is that one of my family members may find it after I leave this earth and they would try to "pinning" this creation or invention on me after my damise, lol. Therefore, I would pin a note on it so in years to come everyone would not assume I made it, since I am the only quilter in the family.<br /> But more seriously, I am so thankful my family never had to rely on my skills to keep us warm, therefore I respect anyone that has the love for others to do WHATEVER it takes to provide for their family. I guess thats why i would keep it, to always remind me of my blessings.(with a note attached to it, of course, LOL)Monica Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359571064054005632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-13026267512804507742019-02-20T15:57:07.143-05:002019-02-20T15:57:07.143-05:00I would have to keep it and find someway to use it...I would have to keep it and find someway to use it or part of it.

I can imagine the pride and determination of the maker. I think it's a keeper only because I can't imagine throwing something away that was made by the hand of another. <br /><br />All quilts have stories Michelle Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975401180145027361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-49709613684872446892019-02-19T22:08:45.536-05:002019-02-19T22:08:45.536-05:00It has seen significant wear, however, those polye...It has seen significant wear, however, those polyester pieces look to be in good shape. If it is a family members quilt and you would like to keep a part of it alive you could use those polyester pieces to make a patchwork dog pillow. My Grandmother did that for all her great grandchildren. They were large and bed pillow size, but Joann Fabrics had a free pattern for a small size. They are made with squares and I believe you could make that polyester fabric work. Good luck to you.Dana Tindell/Jettzmom26@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766706966506875836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-43812647909325876182019-02-19T22:05:19.039-05:002019-02-19T22:05:19.039-05:00Keep it!

It's not quilted and I'm afraid to have it quilted but I will love if forever just because. It's not pretty, the blocks are all wonky but it was made by someone I truly loved. Whoever made this quilt was loved by someone and someone loved them. Keep it!!SusieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240435884595126962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-41986785782842193172019-02-19T16:40:04.704-05:002019-02-19T16:40:04.704-05:00I hate to say it, but I don't think I would ke...I hate to say it, but I don't think I would keep it. I think it served it's original purpose, based on the visible wear, and she knew when she made it that it wasn't an heirloom. I can't think of a purpose in modern day life - you're not going to display it or use it.

I have a quilt top from the late 1800's, several people contributed to it. If i was to finish it it would be a 2019 quilt. I washed it, with some vinegar since it had alot of red, and keep it folded neatly in a clean pillow case. It was passed to me when my husbands grandma passed. I would recommended gently cleaning and store your quilt in a pillowcase.... Someday you may learn more about this quilt and will have on hand :)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192444274569664687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-25661239230225541352019-02-19T11:58:53.922-05:002019-02-19T11:58:53.922-05:00The ONLY redeeming value would be that it was poss...The ONLY redeeming value would be that it was possibly owned by family member, other than that, it is a train wreck. <br />Like you, when I began quilting, I produced some gawd awful stuff. My first attempt I threw away. My second attempt was a blur of blue log cabin blocks, turning the whole thing into an exercise in free motion quilting. <br />I hope to stumble onto a Grandmother's flower garden, or some other vintage quilt top that just needs to be completed and loved.
