On things like this, I like to keep them as "just quilt tops" only. The backs are as interesting as the fronts usually.. I have another old old quilt top that is a log cabin, foundation pieced and never been quilted... I love it the way it is... |
What a treasure!

That wonderful, Love all the old fabric and the colors look so bright. :)

I love garage sales - it's like going on a treasure hunt!

Beautiful, so good of you to take it home with you. Lots of time and work went into the making of it. A real treasure.

Great old quilt. It looks like it's in good shape.
Lucky you to have this. |
