Mending the Fish Quilt

Fixing a Loved Quilt

Last weeks, weekly quilt block was my fish quilt block I did for Husband. 
We have a culture here in our family of NOT giving up our quilts and here is how I fixed Husband’s fish quilt.
Laying out each place to repair

They were all on seams, fabric becoming weak?
I think YEARS of use. 
AND let me add…PLEASE press your seams to ONE side, DO NOT press as you would making clothes. I know it’s a thing now to press open, but DON’T you will only weaken the threads and seam.
