Lucky you. Great find.

My experience with very old quilt tops is that our threads today are so much stronger than at the time they were made that the thread will cut thru the fabric. I would seriously consider leaving them unquilted and finishing the edges with a bias strip, carefully, and using them for what my grandmother called a summer bed top.

the red one~~~definately hand quilt.
I would not change the integrity of it.

Get them appraised first as has been suggested. They may be worth a great deal more left unquilted.

I love attics. Great find. Are you thru going thru the attic, or do you need us all to come help you?

Beautiful and great find! You should talk to a quilt appraiser before you do anything. They will be able to advise you about what to do and not do to the quilts. If you finish it now, it becomes a 2011 quilt. Good luck!

Wow! how lucky are you, all we found in the attic of a old house, 100 yrs was a pole lamp a picture of a tiger , and some glass beads and old purse, and canning jars. The purse and tiny beads were great,but a quilt would of been better.
