I wish you could see it too. It doesn't look like the cheap fabrics that comforters are made of that we see now days. These are heavier fabrics. I'm in the process of fixing one of the seams now.

If it is a chinese import, I wonder if it is worth anything?

I found some places where there are between 4-5 stitches per inch, lol.

The thread that was used to hand quilt is larger than hand quilting thread we buy now. It is almost as large as button/carpet thread.

Nice save! If you like it, fix it and use it. Or just use it like it is!
