This pretty.tied, 1930s comforter was going no where, so I decided to unpick it and try to sell the fabric.
A shame and a bit of a fiddle as it was closely tied and neatly finished. I thought there might have been an old wool blanket inside,
but, whats this? A nice antique quilt, albeit in VERY cutter condition, with the edges in tatters.

Oh, that's a beauty! I love the faded blues. I have read about this practice of using an old quilt as batting for a newer one but have never come across it myself!
ReplyDeleteA lot of quilts pass through my hands, this is not the first time!

ReplyDeleteThe rose fabric is very pretty - very Cath Kidstonish.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Cath copied it
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise to find inside! Goes back to the true quilters creed - made do with what you have.
