Great finds!

Lovely quilts both of them! I was going to say Spiderweb on the second one too - I'm working on spider web right now!! I saw one Birmingham Art Gallery (or was it a museum?) in Alabama last year... That one was 1930's - but I think some of the fabrics in your one are '50's' - just have that look! BUT as we all know so well - could be much older fabrics in there too!!!!

Great find - I'm agreeing with enjoying them too!!

I REALLY have to start going to estate/garage sales. What a find - lucky you! Looks like someone did alot of work on both of them.

Congratulations!!!

Put them on top of the spread where you can see them and enjoy them. What good are they if you can't see them?

I can see why you got them. They are beautiful.

I have two very old orange and other scrapy colors in them for queen size beds that i use in our camper when we go camping. They are very warm when camping in the winter even though we have heat. We still like to use them.

I have an old quilt that my husbands Great-Aunt made over 70 years ago. It's quite worn, and in that time when anyone made a quilt they really used it. It has some bad spots and the binding (also back to front binding) is a little ragged in spots. But because of the sentimental value, I would never try to fix or add fabric to it. Even if I could find vintage fabric...Not sure it would hold a new tug of thread anyway. I have it on display in a room away from the sun hanging on the wall. I just love it.
Enjoy your finds.
