Mending a Fishing Quilt

I posted Husbands fishing quilt block the other day, HERE

We have a culture here in our family of NOT giving up our quilts and here is how I fixed Husband’s fish quilt.

This quilt I didn’t patch, it’s was easier to stitch the seams.
If you do need to make pieces, here is my tutorial.
Laying out each place to repair

They were pretty much on seams, fabric becoming weak?
I think from YEARS of use. 
AND let me add…PLEASE press your seams to ONE side, DO NOT press open 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.
