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.

Last weeks quilt block pattern.

Laying out each place to repair

Pinned it really good

And used applique stitches, by hand.

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.

Looks pretty good !

Ready for many more years of wear !
