Chinese bai jia bei quilt - "One hundred families"
Approx 36" square. Here's a website with info about these quilts. And a brief excerpt:
"What you have there is a “bai jia bei” – a “one hundred families quilt” from China. These are made specifically for the tourist market, but are based on traditional textiles that are intended to give spiritual protection to young children. All those little creatures you see (snake, spider, lizard, etc.) are part of the “wu du” or “five poisons,” which are actually auspicious symbols, as the poisons are thought to keep bad spirits away. They were traditionally embroidered onto children’s clothing and other textiles."
Quilt is in good shape except for some light staining. The trick is - it's lined with paper, so you'll have to use your best crafty skills if you choose to clean it! But the colors are still totally bright as it is. If you have a bug-loving kid or friend, they might love this!

What will you create today?
If you don't see what you're looking for, search by color, theme, fabric type, etc. I added a whole bunch of tags to nearly every product.
Satin's a weave, silk is a fiber....
....either way, I've probably got both.
