very thick and it probably couldn't be quilted, my aunt has a lot of quilts like this... my grandmother used to use everything to make these heavy quilts.. I love them!

Her sons were born between 1880 and 1900.
What a great piece of history to have!
It is interesting that they only knotted this. Thanks for sharing with us.
