Aged fabric can get very brittle as you know, and you're right, it's impossible to tell how it hold up. Maybe in 3-4 generations, these quilts will have been "loved to death" and will be made into keepsakes too!<br /><br />All the best,<br />Susan<br />http://susanintexas.blogspot.comSusan In Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165885066527557584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235243275416051810.post-77596081835047611672009-10-15T13:00:40.060-05:002009-10-15T13:00:40.060-05:00I love your quilts.
