I haven't looked at it very closely, but I thought, at the time he showed it to me, that the fabric looked older than the backing and trim. I wonder if it was pieced at one point and then assembled at another.

I'll let him deal with this - but at least I can pass along the information. However, because of my bg in rare books, etc. I also find this sort of thing interesting. It's always fun to learn about others' areas of knowledge.

you could very well be right that it was pieced long before it was backed. grasswire Apr 2012 #6
