Suggestion...After the seam mending, applique 'shapes' over sections where the fabric is missing. If you want to continue the family connection, you can use 1. pieces of old clothing, 2. muslin (or any other solid color) with photo-transferred pictures of friends/family/locations, or 3. paint/embroider/write personal information on the patches (info like names, dates of birth and marriage, residence in China and SC, etc.).

I know Evan's tired of seeing it lumped in a corner in the closet. Poor guy. If he could sew, I think he'd fix it himself! I think so too.

A little encouragement though- it's obviously a very dear quilt to you and your family and the colours are so beautiful- you'll all be so happy when it's fixed!
