The quilt has faded slightly, most notably in the red fabrics (the layered "floral" devices and the red border vehicles). There are some minor losses to a very few fabrics, including to four small patches of purple silk. There are a couple of very minor brown stains, and a very few small holes. There are no evident tears or repairs.
