Thanks so much, Bree. When I quilt it I won't use a hoop or frame, just quilt it in my lap. I'm not a great hand quilter, by any means, but I think the quilt calls for it.

The white is not as stark white as it appears in the first photos. They were taken at the antique mall under their florescent lights. At home the white looks a bit more creamy and it's got a texture like fine muslin. I'm pretty sure the pink is all cotton. Sure doesn't feel like a blend.

I've been studying fabrics from different eras online and I'm really leaning towards the 50's. Like these were grandma's dresses in the 50's that she used for a quilt. Can't wait to hear what an appraiser will say.

Here are a few more close ups to show the fabrics better.
