The quilt feels strong and sturdy overall.
The hand quilting is superb, with quilting around and within the applique and in elaborate floral and other dense designs in the background, all at 7-8 stitches to the inch.
The back is white, the hand stitched binding is solid red, and the batting is thin. You can see cotton seed residue inside when you hold the quilt up to the light.
