<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 3481739, member: 111&quot;]So don&#039;t want be negative here, but don&#039;t believe it can be avoided - while not unattractive from a distance, it really is poorly made, and may be a Chinese-made imitation of an album quilt, but don&#039;t believe it is, it&#039;s really even below the quality I&#039;d expect, even with their child labor.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The batting does look like poly in the pic, and agree the stems/vines appear to be machine zig-zagged (a home zig-zag machine would be very uncommon until the mid 20th century), though that wouldn&#039;t really have anything to do with the construction, quilts were/are commonly stitched in squares, then assembled before quilting.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s going on at the top in the pic of the back - is there a sleeve sewn on for a rod, or are my old eyes just failing me again?</p><p><br /></p><p>Bothered by the tan leaves, that&#039;s typically a characteristic of late 19th-early 20th century fugitive green dyes that faded to shades of tan (which could explain the dark stitches), but doesn&#039;t really fit in with the other characteristics (though I&#039;ve certainly used fabrics of varied ages together), and the white leaves are just weird - it&#039;s kind of odd overall and honestly don&#039;t know what to make of it...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
