Mending an Old Quilt – How to do It

Making a Quilt A Bit Better

This is a post from about four years ago, how I mend quilts. Mending a quilt is not hard, it does take a bit of time from finding the right fabric to the hand work.
At this time of the year quilts seem to go from family member to family member and please don’t over look taking a quilt, bindings can be replaced (will share soon) and patches made. Here is my applique to mend an old quilt tutorial.
I’m always on the look out for old quilts and IF I think I can save them I purchase. They have to be washable and usable, nothing better, no matter the temperature is a quilt to cuddle in.
This is a recent purchase !

How to fix and old quilt by hand stitching it

 

 There are 3 blocks that needed attention, 
I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do !
