Thanks for all the compliments. I bought it on ebay from a lady who found it in her grandmother's attic. It was DIRTY! but it is gorgeous to me, even stained. Y'all have confirmed for me that the backing for the stars is probably some sort of muslin or milk/feed/sack. I've got a bid on an old muslin featherbed cover on ebay, which looks VERY similar to what I have here. If I win the auction, I think I will cut it open/apart to use for this quilt.
