These are the two vintage quilts I picked up at a local quilt show yesterday. The prices were really good. I have a quilt from my Grandmother, done by her sister, photo also attached. That was my first vintage quilt. The two I just got expanded my collection! I am so exited!

I like your Grandmothers the most. Are the other two just tops? If so, do you plan to finish them? Inquiring minds......

Yes, the other two are tops. I wasn't going to finish them but comments I received on this site the the Main Section of the site have encouraged me to finish them and use them like the makers intended. So that's what I will do.

Great quilts! All of them. I like the first one...looks like a string quilt. and your grandmothers is great too!
You will be glad that you finished them!

Yes, the first one is a string quilt. I had heard of them but had never seen one. They are very interesting.

All three are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! But I have to say the Grandma's would always have a soft spot in my heart just because and the first one, the scrappy is to die for!!!

I dig the Scrappies!!!!

Good for you!!! I love old quilts, and I have bought a couple of tops that I will be making into quilts this summer. I am sure the ladies who made them wanted them to be quilts, so, I am just finishing her work. I think it's the right thing to do.

I love your grandmother's quilt!!! The other two are beautiful too :D:D:D

Oh, just to hold the quilts and think of the ladies stitching these by hand at the end of a long day or while the guys were in the field then laying these aside to prepare home cooked meals for the loves of their lives. I can smell the fresh air just thinking about it.
I have 3 quilts laying out tonight. My sister in law came over to tell me the family history of the quilts. I plan to repair and label these, then soak, wash, and freshen them.

You are so lucky to have these, what a treasure!!
