Look very closely at the sides of the quilt where a tag could have been torn off. I small piece of paper would be attached yet, as the part left would be on the inside. Maybe you could feel it. Some of the "China" quilts have very large stitches and the fabric is poor in color. I bought 2 for my cottage in the country and the more I wash them the more they seem to "fade and fall apart". If you can, post a pic of it. Or you can take it another quilter and she may be able to look at it. Repairing it would still be okay but if it is faded at all, you have to use faded pieces to match the colors. If it is just seams open, you will be okay doing that. Have fun.
