Hand quilted quilt from Rich's grandmother circa 1961, needed some love

Richs' grandmother made this for him, probably finished in 1961, based on the embroidery on the back.  I don't have a "before" photo, but the quilt has been well loved since it was made, and some of the fabrics had completely 

 worn through, others it was just quite thin.  I chose fabrics from my stash to cover the 9 patch squares, and purchased a bit of green to match the background as closely as possible. 

The pins mark where I need to put new fabric. 

After patching, I stitched around the raw edges, then within about 1/4"  like grandma's hand quilting.  If you look closely, you can tell which ones I patched, and certainly on the background.  However, with some additional care, this quilt will last a long time!
