Hourglass Vintage Quilt

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:45:25 -0400

$80.00
This is one of my all time favorite vintage quilts with the most amazing squares. Little red riding hood square, football players square, valentine's day square, gingham squares, and so many other goodies. I can send more block pics if needed.

Hourglass-like block pattern. Really lightweight quilt that doesn't feel like there is batting inside. Back is the same print as the front borders- a yellow flower print. Some hand stitching on the front border (not perfect hand stitching- but cute).

Great overall quality. Minor staining in some spots- but doesn't distract from the overall beauty. Minor wear and tear. One corner has wear and is starting to open up.

roughly 66x82 inches
