Antique Quilts For Sale at IQF

I never tire of seeing antique quilts! These were all for sale at the International Quilt Festival in Houston.  Enjoy the eye candy!





The dogtooth edge  is appliqued. 

This one is a tad more humble. Super charming!

Mourning prints. I can't say I've seen many of these purple gray combinations.


I think these were about 1".

Love seeing the backs with lovely prints.



Love the border/nine patch!














 
This little one is the only one I could afford! The 3 little borders have been added at a later date than the center and stars. I love it! And now it is mine!

    Thanks for sharing those pics. I do like that mourning quilt. I don't think I've ever seen an entire quilt in those fabrics. The quilt you purchased is a gem! Happy Thanksgiving! Barbara S.

    Great choice, love all the fabrics in the center! I never get tired of antique quilts, the log cabin is scrumptious! The quilting on it is fabulous. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

    Thanks for the pix. I love old quilts but can’t attend the Festival any more so have to live vicariously through pictures

    I squealed seeing the green fabric on the economy block quilt. I just picked up a 4 yard piece for a ridiculous price at an estate sale. Inspiration! What a wonderful eye candy post. Thanks, Lori!
