It was inevitable. I can't possibly go to a flea market and not look around. No, I don't need anymore quilts for my collection but sometimes you get such a great deal. This quilt is perfect for my embroidery program and another one I am working on so it was a no-brainer as far as picking it up. It is chock full of 1940s-50s prints:
And it is bordered with this fun fabric...the color scheme which modern quilters would love:
This one I just couldn't pass up because it was such a good deal. Very inexpensive. And it is a comfort--and inside there is another quilt. I am not sure I want to pull the top off yet but I'm having fun admiring it. The colors are off because I took this with my cell phone but it is from the 1890s.
I'll be sewing this week and hope to have some new photos posted sooner or later. If I could just get tops done, it would be very helpful. Hope your weather is better than ours. At least it's not snowing here. Have a great day!

Pretty quilts - it seems you had a good time ... not to mention, a productive one! A quilt in a quilt just fascinates me - talk about the pioneer spirit of using what you have - it's fantastic :D
Our weather is perfect except for the temperature - it hasn't warmed up much! I don't see any snow in the 14 day forecast, and temps will be hovering a bit below normal. We can get snow in May so this is pretty normal :D Warmer temps WILL come (then we'll be complaining that it's too warm, lol) :D
wowie Mickie What a find!! And can that be a cow I spy??
Hi Seamus

WOW Mickie!!!! Those are both gorgeous - you cannot pass them by, they need a home where they'll be appreciated. But now I'm dying to know what the other quilt looks like...do you have others like that?
