I actually posted this article in the collecting/antique section. I normally do not post the same comment in two different forums but thought this may be of interest to those that love to create and sew their own quilts as a hobby, or have tried repairing old quilts. So here goes:
Bring an antique quilt back to life
This article caught my attention since I love old antique quilts. I have not tried this since I just found this article so I was wondering if anyone else has tried this before.
Restoring or salvaging an antique or damaged quilt may seem a little daunting at first. Where do you start? How do you go about it? And how can you find the right vintage fabrics to use? It's not as hard as you think: All you need is a scanner, an inkjet printer, some image-editing software, and a little practice.
