I hate to burst your happy place - but the quilt is exactly like mine and it was made in China - bought many years ago when they first came out at K-Mart and the like - look at the quilting - if there is no quilting in the dresdan plates - then it is just like mine. Same fabrics, borders, etc. Quite thin but I machine wash mine and line dry and it turns out just fine.

Thank you for letting me know. At least 'the mystery' is solved on the quilt's origin.

Oh my, did you feel like you had stolen it when you left ? What a lucky day for you. I wouldn't worry about the age of it either. It is absolutely beautiful. I love it, you lucky lady.
