CONDITION

PLEASE NOTE - This quilt has significant color issues. A blue ink or chalk was used to mark the quilting lines, and it has remained after washing. There is also significant red dye bleed from the burgundy fabrics. Also noted are some dirt lines that did not completely wash out. I did not wash this quilt, but a previous owner did attempt to clean out, which is what caused the lines and dye bleed. Otherwise, fabric is tight and intact. Please review all photos.

AGE

Exact age of the quilt unknown. The maker lived 1902-1994. Fabrics and construction consistent with c1930 quilt.

SIZE - 71" x 70"
