But. putting on a new backing, batting and binding w/o a machine would be very time consuming. You would be spending a lot of time touching what you do not like. Since you've spent so much time giving it a thorough cleaning, why not use a machine?<br /><br />You are a Saint. But, I also agree with Dre - make sure she does not tell who fixed it - there are too many old quilts out there that should be composted!Pegnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818063273966025976.post-19973152100145322672014-05-31T19:50:28.379-07:002014-05-31T19:50:28.379-07:00Go to the thrift store and find an old polyester b...Go to the thrift store and find an old polyester blanket for batting and an old sheet for the back.

Do however ...Getting paid would be the least of it. Do however get reimbursed for your costs- batting, fabrics, soaps, and make her promise to TELL NO ONE. The last thing you want to be is the lady who REPAIRS quilts.<br />What about using bias tape in a matching color to cover each blue strip edge; a sort of applique and quilt all in one step. Or is that more work?
