I took it with me when I had to sit at the merchandise booth when my nephew's band played. I spent my time removing the binding
Removing the patches and the label
and freeing the top from the backing that was totally shot and the horrible batting
I think I have enough of the sashing fabric left to replace the torn sashing. It is amazing I still have it!
I also have a bit of the fabric that I had used for the backing. It is not enough for the entire back, but at least I have a bit I can use.
I will have to replace one t-shirt that got destroyed. Unfortunately, it is not one that I can replace with a duplicate. My Mom went to China with my Dad on a business trip and it was the t-shirt she had brought back for my son. I will try to salvage a piece and stitch it into the quilt somewhere - possibly on the back by the label.

What a project! I always learn so much stuff from you. I have a quilt to fix, too. But I can just cut off three inches and put a new binding down the side. You are nearly reconstruction the whole quilt!
I'd rather make a new quilt than repair an old one. But there's no choice when it's sentimental!
