Gold Mine!!

So I found a big box of quilts that I had forgotten I had. They have been in a huge box with some tablecloths in our climate controlled storage barn. I brought them over this weekend and it was Christmas!

 All of these were made, to the best of my knowledge, by my grandmother, mother,and aunts in the 30s. I know a lot of the fabric is feed sack, and some is just beautiful.  Paisleys!!!  Not one of these has a label and they make me want to go grap a marker and start labeling all my quilts that aren't done.

They smell a little musty.  Do you think it would hurt them to air fluff with a dryer sheet?  Or should they hang in the sun?

STARS!!!!  I love this one!  It has a couple of different yellows in the background, but it's still beautiful.


Love this!!!
Looks like they had some printed squares and just used it on the back.  Did they put those on feedsacks?




This is the only quilt I remember, but I don't know where or why.  I think one of the fabrics had a velvety feel.
The one below is the best shape all around.  I love it.  It just has one place I need to mend.



Grace had a headache today so she came to our house.  She perked up pretty well after Tylenol and we had a good visit!
