The red is quite vivid. My mom THINKS my great-grandmother made the quilt, but it's just a quilt they found in the basement many years after she died. So it is possible it was a quilt made either early in her life, or that was passed down to her.
There is some mildew damage (from being stored in a basement by a bachelor uncle who didn't care about quilts at all) but overall the quilt is in pretty good condition. As you say, the colors are very vivid. It seems not to have been used much.
