Message:: [QUOTE="Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 376898, member: 5939"]Thanks all! The quilt is at the cleaners right now but will add more pics when I get it back. [USER=59]@Bakersgma[/USER] The backing just sort of overlaps onto the front - you can see that edge in the main pic at top (on windshield) and bottom - it's done the same all the way around though. I don't sew but have dealt in vintage clothing & textiles for years and have handled (and hoarded) many quilts - this is handmade, absolutely not new materials although it may have been put together recently. I do see why some of you think it's modern, though, especially looking at the top. I don't think it's ancient but has some age. I agree with [USER=111]@DragonflyWink[/USER] -- "this one looks to be machine pieced and hand quilted, with a simple self-bound edge. Doesn't look like anything recent or commercially made to me..." It is constructed to withstand heavy use, which is why I liked it - I'll actually use it on my bed in cooler weather & not worry about the furry butts wrecking it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [USER=111]@DragonflyWink[/USER] I am confused by "string quilt" - thought those were the ones with yarn tied tops? Or is that a different thing?[/QUOTE]
