I took these pic's with my cell phone so they are not very good plus the sun was hitting the window.
Both of these quilts are old and I wanted to bring them home but the items in the window are in a silent auction style. I couldn't hardly stand to see them hanging where the sun for a month was gonna be beating on them ruining them.
I thought they were both beautiful!!

Wow, very nice, thanks for sharing. Sometimes it's amazing what you can find at a thrift shop.

wow! look at all the colors!!

The first one is a little too far gone for me but the second one is really interesting! :D
Looks like a spools variation.

The blocks with the sail boats could be fixed because only the plain blocks were falling apart. I would still love to have it.

Somebody wasn't thinking to put them in the sun. Wonder if this will affect the bids.

Some people just are totaly clueless

Those fabrics are too frail to be in direct sunlight! Aaaargh.

Our church has a thrift shop The manager is a quilter-She would never put them in the sun BTW she is teaching me quilting I need to get busy!

Well loved quilts. What a shame that they are being exposed to the sun when they shouldn't be. Perhaps the shopkeeper doesn't know this and it may be worthwhile whispering in her ear? :shock:

I found an amazing feedsack quilt recently at a thrift store. I have no clue how to wash it - it is heavy when it is dry, I cannot imagine how heavy it would be when wet. I should post a picture of it.

I didn't realize we were so close.. I seen these quilts Tuesday when I was at Angels attic buying sheets for ragrugs.

maybe you should make a call to the thrift shop and let them know. They probably didn't think about the sun - only wanted to get as many "lookers" and offers as possible.

They are not open til tuesday. But to be honest I don't know if she will listen. I will talk to the employee that I chat with from time to time.

:-D :D :-) :)

I know I'm an odd ball, but I don't see the beauty in a ragged quilt. Yes, I can see what it was, in it's time, but it would never cross my mind to purchase something like that. I like new things. I always say 'the only old thing I like is my husband'.

How pretty!

LOL!! I just love the older quilts.

I can see the beauty but don't have the space or resources to give them the care they need. Unless they has sentimental value (made by a relative, etc.) I have to admire them and hope someone else will give them a good home.

Lovely quilts
