General fabric loss to pattern on red fabrics as well as nickel size holes in more vibrant red fabrics, one more substantial hole through white fabrics on front and several smaller through backing, none of which go all the way through. Several small spots of discoloration and fading, plus general discoloration on white portions. Small spots of wear on binding, but binding is generally in good shape and this quilt is still very 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.
