Vintage Treasures
We all seem to love those vintage treasures, especially when they happen to be quilts. Since many of us are working on our Dresden quilts I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of a few vintage ones today.
I was lucky enough to find this one on eBay last year for $28.00!
My friend Nancy found this beauty in Sisters Oregon. I’m not sure what she paid for it but something tells me it was more than $28.00.
It’s pieced with wool, silk and cotton, and embroidered with floss and yarn!
Just look how sweet this one of Nancy’s is…
Sometimes you can find unfinished blocks like these…
…Or, maybe you’ll find a few finished blocks…
…with a stack of other blocks waiting to be completed. (I bought these on eBay last year.)
Vintage quilts are waiting to be discovered and part of the fun is in the hunt!
Wonder if there’s a vintage quilt on eBay just waiting for you! Wouldn’t hurt to have a look!
Hugs,
Anne
UPDATE: I had Pinterest spelled wrong in my newsletter. I wrote it 100 times on a piece of paper and FINALLY I know how to spell it!

I also have a sweet little Dresden which I found at a small yard sale on my very first visit to Sisters.
There were actually a pair of them identical and priced so minimally my husband encouraged me to purchase both but I felt I should leave one for someone else! Hmmm now I realize how sweet they would look on the twin beds in the guest room. Thank you for sharing the vintage blocks.

Sometimes the quarter blocks were never intended to be plates. Look at some FAN designs for layout ideas for quarter circles.
I love seeing vintage quilts; thanks for all the detailed photos.
