I agree with something on top of the tears/holes - that will prevent the holes from getting bigger - and don't worry too much about the stain - that's character!

Good find!

Ditto from me. Someone got rid of a treasure! I would have used that thing until it was totally TOTALLY worn out.

I have found a few "treasures" at thrift stores, but that quilt is absolutely fabulous. I can't imagine anyone letting go of something like that. Clearly they didn't know the value of what they had. Lucky you!

I buy quilts all the time that are vintage. Most of them are stained and ripped and when I finish restoring them, they are magnificant. Good Luck with this quilt, it's beautiful and you got a fabulous buy.
