To quote the seller, this is an "incredible example of textile art". The quilt is as described. He included all the faded paintings, shattering silks and bad holes in the silk backing. But I still love it! The basic patches are diamonds that make up the traditional tumbling block of regular quilts but with multiple patches in the side diamonds. My Crazy quilt arrived in a sturdy box and was delivered quickly. Seller answered all of my questions. I would purchase from seller again.
