We are calling this is a quilt TOP because there is no batting or backing beneath the fabrics, but please notice each block was sewn on top of a square piece of cotton, so it is not the "traditional" quilt top, with all the seams visible beneath the fabrics.
Because of all that cotton backing this quilt "top" is heavy: it weighs a bit above 3 lbs un-boxed, almost the same as a thin quilt of the same size would weigh. It measures 76" by 65" across; the bed is a queen, 80" by 60...".
The fabrics are a mix of antique cottons, some wool, and maybe others that we are not sure what they are. As far as we can tell, there is no silk or satin among the fabrics.
It is almost impossible to tell if the piecing was done by hand or machine, but it is so tight that we are inclined to think this was machine made. Each block was sewn to the white cotton backing by machine (pic # 12).
We combine shipping.
