Great find -- Quilt 2

Post by jacquie2 » Wed May 07, 2008 5:04 am

This is kind of a scappy quilt. She has vertical row of 9 patch, vertical row of 4 patch, separated by large blocks and strips of fabric. I don't know what kind of batting was used, but this quilt is extremely heavy!! I think this quilt has been repaired. First sign is the binding has been machine sewn...the backing was brought forward over the front of the quilt to form the binding. Down one side that has 4 patch blocks, the edge patches are not the same size as the rest of the patches. Then along the bottom edge -- two narrow strips of goldish fabric were added... they look very much out of place. But this quilt is in really good condition and again, is hand sewn and hand quilted. Not bad for $35!!

Another good one! Don't you just love it when you just sneak up on a good deal? And they look heavier than the quilts we make today. I know my old ones are. And some of those fabrics in this one look like some in the old ones I have here. Great finds!

If it is really heavy, someone may have used an older quilt inside. I have seen a scrap quilt that was falling apart and inside was a double wedding ring quilt in even worse shape. If any seams have given away, you might get a peek.
