Perhaps the colours have faded over time, which might explain why they are paler than the shades usually associated with that time.
The more I look at this quilt the more I dislike it. Old isn't necessarily beautiful, as I say every day when I look in the mirror...

It is always fun to look at old quilts. However I don't see the quilting being that old. I don't know the fabrics just don't seem right to me. And I looks to be in good condition how was it stored to look so good darn near 200 years later.
I am no expert in the field just my thoughts. if they are worth a dime. lol
