After looking it over preetty good, it has some surface dirt but one or two places that I might have to give personal up close attention to. It is definitely handmade and looks to be maybe a first quilt as the stitching lines are not straight all over. It is all machine stitched. The appliques are held on by a zigzag stitch. There are so many holes in it but I will 'cover' each one before trying to clean it. I don't know what I will do with it but I just didn't want it to be left in a trailer of sound equipment!! LOL
