I came across the following blog post on Google + yesterday. My thinking may be wrong but I just couldn't see myself finishing an antique quilt as precious as that one and with its history no matter what my skill level. I would carefully store it or display it and leave it just the way the original owner/sewer left it - to me that would be what would make it so precious to me. On another level, going on the Antiques Roadshow program, wouldn't finishing it destroy the value if that mattered to you? The show seems to criticise people who 'repair' antiques.
New Blogpost - Provenance
When I see a very old building restored even if they use the same slate etc., to me it's just not the same anymore. I can no longer imagine the builders, now long dead, touching and creating the original material.
(I mean no disrespect to Elita with this topic. I really want to know if I'm in the minority with my view on this.)
