In order to spruce up and save the double sides crazy quilt I thrifted, I first had to take it apart. The first step was to carefully snip and pull out all the old brown yarn ties.
The condition of the yarn ties and seeing the inside of the quilt made me think my age estimate is pretty close.
I would save and reuse the batting if it were in better shape, but it's got big holes, major fiber migration lumps and is covered witth tangled threads, so it's not useable.
Here are the front and back side of the quilt once I separated them.
For now I'm basting some organza ribbon over the separated seams to keep them from tearing even more during reconstruction. Once I have all the seams in need of repair shored up, then I can reassemble the quilt.
