My mother had some very old wool quilts with that heavy batting. They are not pieced, just put together and tied. Does anyone have any idea what I should do with these. They take up a lot of room. I don't know if there is any value in them or not. Any ideas.

You can donate them to a homeless shelter. They are always very appreciative when they get things like that.
|
Do you think so? They are so heavy and lumpy. Seemed like somebody might like to salvage the wool as it is still nice.
|
do they have a nice design or are they just for warmth?
|
if you just want to get rid of them---some textile artist will want them...
i would love a find like that! i go to yard sales just to find wool! if there is a (freecycle) program in your area you could offer them there- if you want to make a bit $$ from them you could list them with fiber-art sites, quilting sites, and primative textile/wool groups. someone is bound to snatch them up! |
If they are wool besure to find a home for them. I wished I was closer.

I have 2 pure wool tied quilts in my cedar chest. My husbands grandmother made them back in the 1930's - 1940's.
I use to use them alot, but they are stowed away. Since his mother made them I will hand them down to my kids. |
