Repairing and Rebinding a 65-Year-Old Quilt

 Well, repairing this old quilt for a friend of ours is... uh, ... 'thought-provoking', shall we say. 😂 The batting(?) has evidently shrunk more than the fabric, but the tied yarn has held everything in place, causing pleats to form from one yarn knot to the next. It's not at all an unpleasant effect, but it does make me scratch my head a bit as to just how to deal with it. I guess I'll just try my best to sew a wide binding on nice and flat, and let the chips fall where they may.
