I found a beautiful quilt at a thrift store last week. It was in great condition and according to my friend who know a lot more about dating quilts, it is from the 1940's. I've only bought 3 old quilts in the 20 years that I've been quilting. I try to only buy quilts in patterns that I'd never make. One of them was a "Postage Stamp" pattern with 1" pieces. I know I'll never even try that. The one last week is a pattern I've never seen. What a find for less than $100!
