This antique crazy quilt is in excellent /mint condition, as it appears to be unused and has never been washed. Great variety of cotton fabrics and a real study of fabrics ranging probably 30 years. The quilt is tied. The front is turned to the back and hand stitched down for the binding. The batting feels to be cotton. The backing, well it is great indigo fabrics. The back fabrics alone is almost worth the price of the quilt. There's 2 different fabrics on the backside. A quilt that displays well and is enjoyable to look at whether on the wall or on a bed or other ideal place in the home.
