Since quilts are dated to the most recent fabric, unbleached muslim can sometimes be added without ruining the historical value; check with a quilt conservator if you can. DWR will be a lot of work but can either be trimmed to the rings on the outside or perhaps muslim border added to square it. The suggestion of thick batting is excellent. Bow tie blocks are a real find! You might contact the company office and engage Human Resources or simply start with the person answering the phone about possible interest. String quilt is a real beauty - worth the effort if you retain the historic value! All three will be gorgeous when you're done.gladewhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132215693528148634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378175096875819173.post-75582655281042178732017-06-13T16:38:53.188-07:002017-06-13T16:38:53.188-07:00It's quite pretty, I love the colors in it.

A wool batting would help with the fullness in the DWR quilt. Dense fills and feathers can also suck up lots of fullness. I would ditch the rings first.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121471585404938865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378175096875819173.post-61274972483979097292017-06-13T07:47:38.794-07:002017-06-13T07:47:38.794-07:00I'd say doing anything with them is better tha...I'd say doing anything with them is better than doing nothing with them. There isn't a lot of monetary value but more historical value.
