There are a few holes on the floral side, but the backing has various splits in the fabric up at the top and some marks. Overall presents beautifully, and is sturdy and usable.

Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
