it is "quilted" see that single straight line stitch running through the block on the second pic
there is one on every block but only on the block
(my family wasnt known for their quilting but they were poor and practical lol)

You sure have a wonderful quilt there. Do you have a Quilt Museum or a Quilt Restoration Center? If not look on line. They can tell you how to restore it or to perserve it so nomore damage will happen to it.
