<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 282812, member: 36"]I have a sinking feeling that's a commercial quilt rather than a hand-made one. If so you still didn't get burned, because it's in great shape. Home made quilts generally have more quilting on them than that, and in different places. The backing fabric looks off too. If it's plain it's often muslin or a sheet. This looks coarse, and in pure white it just looks wrong. I can't see enough of the stitching on the front to be sure. (I know little about really old quilts, but have burned through my share of needles, bobbins, thread spools, etc.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
