    That "fabric" (if you can call it that) is not "vintage." It is just OLD and ugly!

    And certainly not anywhere near "antique!"

    The person who made it did not even take the paper information strip off of it!

    About the only good thing I can say about it is that it would probably be warm!

    That quilt top looks suspiciously like one my great-grandmother made for me in the late 70's. It was made with upholstery fabric including the backing--no batting, smelled funny, heavy and scratchy. I wondered what happened to it! Actually, that one is prettier than mine was. No joke!

    This looks like a lot of samples of upholstery and other fabrics! Who would pay this price?
    You can tell by his other ads, this person does not have a clue as to the value of the items. Way overpriced!

    I believe the ad is for the already sewn together quilt top.
