Yeah, I do but the ones today are so thin & the good qualtity ones are toooo expensive. I found 1 at a thrift store for $6, was so excited, wanted it for my queen bed. It was white, bought $12 worth of blue dye & turned out so pretty but after dying & drying discovered it was only twin..!!! It turned out soo pretty but am using it on a twin I have.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

lol,you are tooo funny

I love them, and have many. I started collecting them for our guest bedroom that has two twin beds. Finding a matchint pair was always fun! Now I have several totes with nice spreads in them. I am waiting to finish off one guest bedroom, and will use them in there...along with quilts!

sak658, I had two daughters with severe allergies and a son with dust allergies. The girls' allergist said definitely no chenille bedspreads. The fluffy parts do catch and hold dust.

Yes, I love them. Found a beautiful cream one at a yard sale, ask how much, lady said "How about 2 bucks, I about fainted and grabbed it up,lol.Have bought a few that were damaged, going to repurpose them, but I can't bear to cut them.

Thanks you guys ! It's nice to know I'm not the only "collector" of things that give me comfort. Makes me miss the simple times, you know ?

:D What a Deal !!!

I know what you mean. I swear, I have one that must weigh 20 lbs ! It's yellow & white and I have thinner ones. I guess they only had double beds back then, nothing larger. Some of mine are so worn but I still haven't cut them, maybe sometime later. I've got tons of "Later" things to do..you'd think I'd quit going to the quilt shop, but so inspiring !!

I would like to see pictures of what was made out of them. I used to pick the fluffy parts off mine - it got naked... mom tossed it...

Yes, chenille bedspreads are lovely, we have a white one, only about ten years old, that goes on our bed when I want to showcase an old quilt that does not fit a king sized mattress. First the white chenille covers the bed, then the oldie is spread diagonally--and sometimes I use the chenille spread alone, to accent my quilted throw pillows, whose colors don't look nice with any of our quilts. A few years ago, there was a big fad for sewing pull-over shirts cut from old spreads, never did that . The bedspreads were a popular wedding gift here in Iowa, for many years. And that's probably more than you wanted to know. piecefully, the old one
