Thank you so much for posting your quilt. I love to learn about these things. What a great find for you. Are you going to quilt the top?

I was just wondering what if anything will you do with it? I think I would be afraid to quilt it are finish it in any way. No matter what you do it was a great find.

Wow congrats on your find , you know it looks like with the design like 4 crosses that meet . Lands I can't believe this person who had it just had it tossed on the ground,- shaking my head-
Let us know what else you find out about it :D :thumbup:

I would have pegged those fabrics as from the 1800s myself. But I wonder at it only being worth $300. The value of old quilts must be going down these days.
