Antique Mall Finds

I took the opportunity to visit an Antique Mall in town last week that I'd never been to. I looked at all the booths and found so many old quilts.  Again my heart is breaking that the families of these quilt makers didn't keep them. This isn't even all of them I saw.  My phone died so this is all the pictures I could take. I left my real camera at home.

 I saw 3 of these Double Wedding Ring quilt Tops. Look at the small sections in the arcs/melons. I only unfolded them to 1/4 size to take these pictures.

Seven Sisters
There were NO sewing machines. Lots of China, Dolls, linens, doilies, books and knick knacks.  I just had to share these quilts for Inspiration. I'm thinking I could alternate a solid block with my Bow ties.

  2. Isn't that sad! I so agree with you. I hate to think about quilts I work hard on ending up in garage sales or craft malls. That's one reason why I love blogging. People who actually know what went into making them see my quilts and I see and appreciate and admire their quilts. Thanks for sharing those!
