I would want to know the fiber content of both fabric and filling, as I like cotton and avoid polyester because I find it uncomfortable; use and care info could influence my eagerness to own this quilt by letting me know dry cleaning is necessary or that the item is easy care/machine wash and dry. Size is important, both measured and descriptive: Lap quilt, xx" by xx" tells me what purpose it could fulfill. Pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes, 2011 would tell me it is handmade (and therefore worth much more), by whom, and when (new or old). Missouri Quilt Co info is not relevant to the buyer.

Hand Made by machine?? It's sounds funny. How do you say the quilt was hand made, without making people think it was hand pieced and hand quilted? Both were done by machine.

As always, thanks for helping me out...:)

Simply say "HAND MADE BY MACHINE" that tell them all you need to know.
