This is an adorable quilt that was a gift to my daughter.. The individual squares are tied together with ribbon.. there is no stitching. I don't know if it was new or gently used when it was given to me. ➡️We have not used it though.⬅️ I honestly don't know what it is supposed to be used for as the four corners are missing. A specialty quilt for something? please feel free to ask questions or ask for more pictures if needed 😊
