Auction Finds 6-20-2020

We picked up some auction treasures today from local auctioneers Messner and McPherson.  (Click on any photo to see a slide show of the photos in this blog.)

The first item of note was a hand sewn, hand quilted, quilt as shown below:

Auction cost was $42 dollars.  Very reasonable, and is about 10% of the cost of building a full size quilt.

The next item of note was a tote full of seven hand made quilt tops as shown below.  They are all hand sewn and are old fabrics, but most likely all new.  I put names on them as best as I know, but I could use help identifying them.


Quilt #1:  Roses and Buds Quilt Top
(This top is in two pieces, and there are smaller pieces in the tote to fill in the missing parts.)

Quilt #2:  Ice Cream Cones Quilt Top

Quilt #3:  Grandma's Flower Garden Quilt Top - with gray borders

Quilt #4:  Double Wedding Ring Quilt Top

Quilt #5:  Embroidered blocks quilt top

(one edge is not complete, will need more green and white)

Quilt #6:  Quilt top is made of large blocks (17")   (Not sure of the pattern.)

Quilt #7:  Grandma's Flower Garden Quilt Top - with white borders

Auction price was about $1 per quilt top.  I would like to make them into real usable quilts...  This will certainly keep me busy for the rest of the foreseeable future!
