When I opened it fully this is what I found. There were pieces completely missing. At first I tried whip stitching some of the spots closed but soon realized what an enormous task this would be. I decided to remove all the quilting and then fix the top. I soon realized I would never finish the task. I finally took the entire top apart down to the individual piece and squared everything up. If you read back through my blog you will see where I built this quilt back up from square one. Before I did all this work I made sure everything I did was ok with the owner.
Here is the final quilted object waiting for a good wash and "going over" before returning it to it's owner.
