    Eddie, Do you plan to display this quilt? If so (and probably you know), display in a low lit area and out of direct sunlight or even diffused light (sunlight coming through shear curtains). With older fabrics, the dyes used tend to fade faster than dye chemicals of today.

    Just curious: Did you have any issues with fold marks and fading on the quilt top?

    Beautiful, thank you for sharing I would not get to see such treasures otherwise! I love the random way it appears to be put together, and the tartan is a little daring don't you think? I just love it!!! I am going to put tartan in mine from now on!

    The top already had character, but you really enhanced it! And now it can be used and enjoyed. Great job Eddie!

    Very interesting. How long have you had the top and how did you acquire it? Thanks. DI
