Lately, I've been carousing antique stores, fleas, ebay, and etsy for cutter quilts so that I may make baby her first Christmas stocking...without success, mind you. Well, today my luck has changed. I pulled into the entrance of my neighborhood this ayem to see the corner house had a yard sale going. I decided to check it out and, lo and behold, I saw a quilt. It had a few tiny holes, but it was only two dollars so I bought it. As I was explaining my intentions to the lady as I paid, she mentioned having some older quilts inside. She brought out a trash bag full of quilts and asked $4 for the larger ones and $3 for the twin sized ones. I couldn't believe my ears. I ended up buying four quilts in all. My mom and I should have fun crafting with these vintage beauties.
I'm thinking: Christmas stockings, hot pads, baby's first tooth pillows, and who knows what all else. I'll keep you posted as the crafting commences.

What a great find! These quilts are beautiful and I wouldn't cut them up, except maybe to make the baby's stocking! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
