I thought I was done buying coverlets, and then this one showed up on eBay last week.
I love that red snowflake design! It's not something I can easily do even on an 8-shaft loom, so I put in an offer and they took it!
It's in 4 panels about 22 inches wide. You can tell the weft is single ply, so it puffs up nicely.
For the sake of documentation, here is the listing:

When thinking about my own collecting, I realized it fell into several categories: items to use as reference, items I knew I'd never replicate, and items added for their sheer beauty or historical nature. I can see why you wanted this one - it's a beauty.
That's a really good way to categorize (and justify) your reasons for collecting. I hope you don't mind if I adopt that -- In truth, the only person I need to convince is myself. ;-)
Feel free to use it. I've found it very helpful in convincing myself that I NEED to make that purchase - lol.
