    Yes, it does to me. It honestly made me a tad bit dizzy, but it's still beautiful!
    And me. The movement in it is chaotic and makes me feel a touch queasy. I couldn't live with it.

    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

    Have mercy! Beautiful, even if they can't prove the date (which would bring down the price significantly for me) it is still a GORGEOUS quilt.
