Quiltmouse,
No I don't think I could come close to the quilting. The stitches are really really small. I just love old quilts.
It must be pretty strong. I soaked it for hours today, threw it in the washer with vinegar on hot and in the dryer on hot.
Did fine. Not going to display it, I would use it. I've had it about a year and did not know what to do with it. Anything would be better than just letting it lay around.
