Haven't bought any recently but 2-3 years ago I got some nice quilts, a couple of vintage tops & t.o.c. blocks. Haven't done a thing with the tops/blocks - so watch out for collecting MORE UFOs !! LOL but I love the history in them
Ask for more photos, most will be glad to send. If not, don't buy! Some sellers list "antique" or vintage but don't have ANY idea what they truly are -
MOST important - check Feedback !! :)
