My cousin has a consignment shop and just messaged me about 4 vintage quilt tops she has. I'm still waiting on the measurements on them, but the one I like the most is a scrappy Spider Web pattern on white background for $48. What do you think of that price?

I have paid that much for a spider web I really like.

If it is in good condition the price is as good as a steal! My favorite 2nd hand shops have vintage quilts for hundreds of dollars and they aren't even in fair condition. I would go for all of them at that kind of $.

Just the pieced top or a completed quilt? Good price for a good condition top and great price if it is a completed quilt.

Pictures and dimensions would help. Also close-up photos if it is a
completed quilt.
