the restoration of a quilt?

I am restoring a quilt my grandmother began several years before his death has cut many parts and there was a large amount of garbage that he intended to use the only problem is that all the facts, he intended to use all his clothes polyester age that gives much more sentimental value, but will use every day if I end up with the support of the squares of cotton and cotton strips? This is a design Dresden plate that started this is my first quilt tips help you appreciate your time

It's a wonderful sentimental project! If you speak polyester doubleknit, is like iron – the seam is likely to fail before the canvas does. I know that groups make quilts for the homeless because they prefer poly doubleknit increases both intensive. Simple polyester yarn and fabric are a little less robust, but still very durable, as long as the edges of all pieces are finished to prevent fraying (not doubleknit Ravel). All must endure daily poly careful use, but may melt in the hot plate dryers or hot water to prevent them. If doubleknit, a couple of caveats. 1. No shrugs as any other fabric that is used with her must be fully pre-shrunk. 2. It is very heavy, do not use what the club, just a support (pre-shrunk cotton flannel or fine). padded quilting are not very well at these quilts (quilt the hand of his is very difficult), especially doubleknits are excellent candidates for the assembly. Plan to connect the 4 "or so to distribute the weight well. You can use the yarn, cotton pearl, or crochet, or 6 strands of embroidery thread a tapestry needle with large eyes (a craft-fabric store). There are several ways to do this, but here is a link to a tutorial on how to bind a quilt.

You can see how the quilt layer and different ways to finish quilt edges here. http://quilting.about.com/ very good luck! Added: Two thoughts. Be careful when the blanket is wet – it will be extra heavy and you want support carefully to avoid breaking the stitching on the seams. And the sewing thread with poly-cotton or poly cover all good.
