Airing the Quilts....

it has turned out to be a beautiful sunny day here on the farm ~

...perfect for airing out some of my old quilts!


below are some pics of my finished little quilt:

I like the way it turned out, do you? and here are two quilts that I bought while 'junkin' on Saturday...
this one, below is a Monkey Wrench design... I LOVE LOVE the early blue & brown calico's and how time has aged her....
this one, below, is a Star variation, almost with Log Cabin work on the stars, and again thee best early blue calico.
both quilts are tattered and loved... soft and faded and perfect. ~::~ and what else should we do on such a pleasant day, ...when all of our chores are done?
...nap in the warmth of the sun, of course!!!


...wishing you all a loverly afternoon ~


Blessings from the Farm... Lori

    Love your little quilt. Monkey wrench is my favorite quilt block, so have to say that one is my absolute fav. Lovely finds.

    Enjoy the sunshine~Becky

    I love how your little quilt turned out.
    I saw an old quilt in the thrift store, but have no idea about aging a quilt and prices. This one had damage and maybe the 30's from the look of the prints.

    Love your quilts...new and old! I just blogged a couple days ago about some OLD blocks my Mom gave to me. I hope that if/when I get them finished, I do them justice!
