Question
They said I had asked too many follow-up questions so had to start over. The wear on the quilt is only at the edges by the binding not in the body at all.
I too have parents in the upper 80's I see every week and I totally understand. How nice that you have such a wonderful profession.
Regards,
Rebecca
Hi Rebecca, ADDED EXPLANATION below...
Thanks for persisting.
In the small photo you first sent, there are some white spots in the center section that look like small holes or wear... ?
Do you have more photos? Do you have a full shot? If you have more photos can you sent them to me directly: quiltcomplex@hughes.net
I am asking because I know a guy who collects New York Beauty quilts -- but he would want to know all the condition issues before considering buying this one. I thought that better, more comprehensive photos and/or more detail shots of any problems might help.
I wish you well with parents.
Julie

| Comment | Julie has gone out of her way to answer my questions and be helpful. Now if we could just clone her and scatter her across the country, the USA would be in much better shape. Thank you, thank you. | ||
