I would contact a local quilt shop and see if you can take it in for someone to look at. You would be better off with some expert advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864595776485445192.post-91669036218499326422012-05-01T08:45:36.235-04:002012-05-01T08:45:36.235-04:00Okay, I am going to differ with the pack. I think ...Okay, I am going to differ with the pack. I think you should add a piece of fabric to cover the missing area, and keep the quilt large. You may be glad you have a bed-size quilt, and I think it's a bit of a crime to tamper too much with what grandma created. (No offense to those who think otherwise) The tatters even tell the story of life, cuz no matter how perfect things start out, there is going to be damage along the way, and patching over it and repairing is what we do to survive. You could even embroider Selah's name and date of birth on the new piece, as well as Grandma's name and dob. It would become a meaningful family document. Whatever you decide, it's a gorgeous piece of handwork.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519140951660677172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864595776485445192.post-5938789222152226502012-04-27T22:38:14.371-04:002012-04-27T22:38:14.371-04:00I like both the idea of cutting a row off and the ...I like both the idea of cutting a row off and the idea of making a smaller wilt for use and framing a piece.
