I purchased this old quilt top in a 2nd hand store this winter in New England and I am interested in knowing the approximate date it was made. I believe it is from New England or England and it is made from mostly dress weight wool, all hand pieced. Also, if it is very old should I leave as is or finish making into a quilt. It is in excellent condition. Sorry for posting it sideways.

looks very old...I'll be watching to see what others say.
I'd leave it as is to preserve the historical value of it. |
Whether or not to finish it into a quilt is entirely up to you. I personally think it helps preserve the quilt top to complete it into a quilt.
It looks early 20th century to me, maybe turn of the century. It's really lovely! |
Beautiful quilt if you don't want to finish it you could fold it and frame in an enclosed shadow box with uv protected glass front.
