Thread: Do any of you buy quilts?

i've noticed that people have been posting links for quilts they are selling and i'm wondering if any of you buy completed quilts?

i've never purchased a quilt - i'd much rather make it myself, even if it doesn't come out as nice, then to buy one.

I've only bought one and that was the Hawaiian Quilt.

I used to buy antique quilts.

Have never bought a quilt, might if it was an old one like at an estate sale, but other than that no way!

I would buy an antique quilt if I found one that struck my fancy...but I haven't found one yet...but I'm always looking.

I've bought a quilt although I've thought about buying older and/or antique quilts. However, never seem to have the extra money when I see something I like. :roll:

I've bought quite a few vintage quilts, and vintage doll quilts on Ebay, not recently though.Then resold a couple of the quilts, and one or two I got at estate auctions. This was before I got back into quilting my own. :-)

I bought a double wedding ring quilt when we visited Pennsylvania. I knew I'd never take the time to make a quilt with that pattern and yet it's a pattern I really like. I love this quilt and have no regrets about buying it.

I have never bought a quilt. I have too much fun making them.

Before I learned I could make them, I bought some. But from Sears (2), Linens n Things, and Walmart. You can guess I didn't pay much for them and pretty much got what I paid for. Weirdly enough though, the 2 from Sears wore out in a couple of years (I think the fabric was too thin), and the ones from Walmart and Linens n Things are pretty much going strong if you do not count the abuse (holes) from a puppy and an old and bored (stiff joints, couldn't do much) Doberman.

I haven't gotten to the bed sized quilts though....
