Pretty Little Quilt
I plan to wash it, but then what? should I take it apart and salvage the best blocks? Should I put a bird on it? What do you think?

What a little treasure! Maybe just some applique to cover the holes.
What a cute little quilt - I think I'll vote for keeping it in tact, covering the holes with geometric applique and some decorative hand embroidery - love hand embroidery on wool.
I'de also vote for keeping it intact - covering the holes with your gorgeous little embelishments - then make it into a big pillow.
I can't wait to see you work your magic with this. I wish I knew the history of the piece. Another good reminder for everyone to document on their work.
I love Karen's idea of appliquing and then making it into a pillow. Just too beautiful for a cutter.
I hope you don't mind me popping in as I blog-hop?! I like your bird idea, and maybe some other spring theme embellishments--eager to see how it evolves. Pam =)
Of course you should put a bird on it. Actually, I'm thinking of trying to start a new trend - maybe fish.
Yep, I vote for keeping it intact. There's just something too sad about deconstructing the efforts of a quilter from another era. You've got such a great eye for adding color and texture with embellishments. I can't wait to see what comes of your work this time!
