Here are two fixer-upper projects I never attempted. This artsy contained crazy quilt top is very old and delicate, with about 25% of the silk, satin and crepe patches shattered or on the verge. I remembering thinking "Well, maybe I can fix it" which, of course, was idiotic of me. I will keep the top and harvest what I can from it for other repair projects.
The back of the top is almost as interesting as the front.
This gold and red Lone Star is very cheerful and graphic, but also badly deteriorated. Since it's only about one-quarter of a quilt (I'll bet there were four of these stars on the original piece) really not worth fixing.
Also, imagine trying to cover the shattered diamonds with new fabric. I'll never be that good at repairs.
