I agree that you should check some resources online to learn how you can best stabilize your grandma's precious quilt. And then store it safely and lovingly. If you do make any repairs, document those, too.

I'll bet your Grandma has a huge smile on her face looking down at you seeing your work based on her quilt. It has been so fun to watch your progress on this and I agree with one of the others - both should be showcased in a quilt show. I'd do minor repairs but keep the quilt as is. Also write up the history you know of it and that it inspired your quilt. Maybe a relative will want to make a replica in the future! Every time I see yellow butterfly's in my back yard I think of your quilt.... I may just have to make my own version sometime!Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-83971905994410120172014-08-18T09:20:55.243-05:002014-08-18T09:20:55.243-05:00I would fix up Grandma's quilt best you can......I would fix up Grandma's quilt best you can...and keep it as is with the fixes.

My mom is also working on making a butterfly quilt to look like one her great grandma made in the 1930's. I have the original here at home. Surprisingly, considering how many moves it's been through, and that it hasn't had any special storage or anything, there is very little wear and tear showing on it. <br /><br />My great great grandma's butterflies do not look like any other butterfly quilts that we've seen.

And gently clean if possible. And then store it safely. <br />I think these quilts should be hung side by side in quilt shows to inspire other quilters.<br />Amazing!Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-25599139143712001062014-08-17T10:15:05.050-05:002014-08-17T10:15:05.050-05:00Wow!

I would store it away making sure there is documentation with who the maker was. Who knows maybe the next generation would like to make one too, wouldn't that be something!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.com
