Condition
 
Other than removing the fabric from a quilt fragment and removing loose quilting threads left in "as found" condition. The fabric has not been laundered. 
 
At the later years of the 1800's it was common to use an iron oxide dye to achieve a brown color which would over the years detroy the threads. That is what has happened to this fabric. Several places where you can see that the brown dye was used and now those areas are missing. It has occured in many of the smaller florals motifs. 
 
Areas where the dyes were not used are still in good condition. No One large stain at one side.  Colors are strong and even. 
 
Lightly quilted at one with visible some visible lines.
