But then I started realizing at some point, if I find a quilt that was quilted in 1810,

right?

And then in 1880, somebody repaired it with some 1880 fabric that doesn't fit with the 1810 quilt at all.

Then I think that's great.

It's like, oh, look at this.

It tells a story.

Somebody made it, and then 70 years later, somebody else repaired it, and oh, isn't that... And I would think that's great.

To be consistent, I have to say it's perfectly fine to repair an old quilt.

But do it.

Repair it yourself.

The other source of information for you is going to be your local quilt guild.

Almost every town in America has a quilting group.

And in quilt guilds, there are often...

What people don't understand is they think that quilting is drudgery that must be done for some reason or other.

They don't understand that it's one of the most pleasurable activities a person can engage in.

And so guilds are very often full of women who make dozens of quilts a year for charity because what are you going to do?

Keep them?

And that's been a longstanding part of the American quilt experience is making quilts for charity.

And so there will be some women in almost every guild who love to do repairs, who love to do sewing.
