Condition

1st item: Unwashed condition. Front white squares are slightly dingy. Watermark on top near the border. The back is very clean with very light discoloration along the fold lines. 2nd item: Very clean condition overall on front. Backing has 2 sizable water stains (6 1/2" x 2") and (14" x 7 1/2") with slight discoloration on the fold lines. The cotton batting is coming out in places along the machine-applied binding. 3rd item: Pencil lines still visible for the quilting motifs; this piece has probably never been washed. Yellow backing has one darkened rectangular area (12" x 17") as well as other smaller areas of similar reddish-brown discoloration. A velcro strip is attached for hanging.
