I just love the pastel colors. I just don't understand why anyone would want to get rid of an old quilt. Where ever I was going to move, that quilt would go right along with me. You are fortunate to get it.

I love this quilt! Lucky you to own it.

Oh, I have one of those - done with 30's fabrics ( yes, 1930's). Had it on my bed growing up and it has always been a favorite of mine.Love the colors. Now my goal is to make one with fabrics I have purchased in travels around the world.

I love the colors too. Beautiful find

Wonderful find! Maybe you can replace the binding if it's worn, just a thought.

I really think that trying to replace it would take away the value. I have decided to whip stitch the frayed edges so they won't fray more and keep it like it is.

Interesting use of colors. Looks great.

This obviously was made before the days of strip-quilting. Can you imagine cutting all those tiny pieces individually ..... and without a rotary cutter? And then sewing them individually into place?

I made a baby quilt like this years ago. It was beautiful but so time-consuming. And I have some of the pieces for a full size quilt cut (individually), but I can't get up the courage to tackle it.

What a treasure you have!

Awesome.

It's beautiful! Don't mind the worn spots, just add a few of your own :-D
