Default Eye Candy

Busy designing row by row but thought I would take a break and show some of the old(er) quilts and tops that arrived. Some are 1840s, one 1876 and two 1920 and 1950.

Eye candy indeed. Thank you for sharing these heirloom beauties. I especially like the first. I am unclear, "arrived" where?

MC quilts get me every time and yours is a beaut. I also like that Lemoyne star one. Are you purchasing these in on line auctions?? You are finding some real treasures.

These are wonderful. The colors and fabrics did indeed say "old". So what are you doing with them: repairs? finishing? cleaning? The first would be my favorite.

I work at a quilt museum and both old and new quilts are either donated or consigned.Just thought they were neat to see.
