This was one of those times when repairing a quilt was all about saving family history and sweet memories.
Here's the email message that introduced me to the quilt:
"I discovered my husband's baby blanket. It's survived 4 children. We are retired military and we have little that has not been lost or ruined from our many moves over 21yrs. Besides the blanket I have only 3 pics of my husband's from his childhood. It would mean a lot to him and me if someone of your skill level could help restore this precious gift."
The owners of this quilt sent me some photos before sending the quilt, so I could get a general idea of what would be needed and give them a general idea of the cost. It was pretty wrinkled up, but I wasn't concerned, since people often don't spend lots of time taking perfect photos. Mostly I was looking at the torn squares and open seams.
