with a great warm patina to the dry wood

Much Loved Antique Patchwork Doll Quilt with Great Indigo Print Reverse goose collector and friend in RockportThis old doll quilt has seen a lot of use, with some of the squares on the patchwork face fairly threadbare or loose along one seam or another, but I find it very beautiful, and the reverse side equally so.(How I would love to have many yards of that indigo!) Stable and really not fragile, but very tender feeling indeed. 18 3 4" x 10". Wear and age and fading as evident but holding together and not fragile.
