It was rip in the orange fabric and I can see it is not batting showing through the rip. I rip the orange fabric away and what lies beneath is this antique quilt. It is all hand pieced and tied. But it is in rough, rough shape. It had been cut down on one end. Stained on another end and many of the blocks have threadbare or are mere threads in some of the piecework. We took pics of a couple of blocks in the best shape.
I'm not sure if it is salvagable or not. I think it may be from the 1930's. Possibly older. DH got it at a Sally's in Vermont.
