Thanks for ideas!
This top is not fragile at all. It's quite sturdy and the redwork is beautifully done. The blocks are 10 inches. I don't know the history of it as I found it years ago at a flea market. It's old for sure but as I said quite sturdy. The edges are finished and I'm wondering if maybe it was used on top of a bed as some sort of summer cover? I don't really know.
Several blocks are so whimsical. One has a picture of a pig and a child and it says "poke me". Really darling piece.
