I'm beginning to catalog my "utility" quilts. This one is from the fifties and it is the kind of quilt we might have taken to the beach or on a picnic. No, I'm not doing that but I remember growing up with quilts like this that we used that way. The workmanship isn't the greatest but I like the odd colorful jumble that it is. We also don't see this pattern very often so it is a neat quilt to have.
Have a great day!

I love the quilt! Can we see an up close of some of the pretty fabric patterns, too?? I don't think I've seen that pattern. I love the floral zigzag? blocking fabric. :-)
I don't remember having seen that pattern before either - it's a sweet quilt!
Mickie it is a great quilt and I agree the coloring is very nice indeed. Love old style quilts myself. Patty pat
It's wonderful!!! I remember treating my quilts in a terrible fashion when I was a kid... we pulled them onto the floor and played cars on them, laid out in the sun on them, had picnics on them... etc... Totally unthinkable now that I understand how much time and energy and love went into making each one. But I was ignorant about quilts back then.
