Found: Vintage Quilt Tops

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time recently.
The day I found these quilt tops:
This is the prettiest one:
And then, I believe this one is my next favorite:
 They aren't perfect, either, as most have a little spot or two ... or three.
Next choice for me would be this red checkerboard sort-of pattern
I don't really know their actual pattern names; I'm not a quilter - I just liked them:
I do not find this next one quite as appealing as the others I found:
But the price was right, so I picked it up, too:
And then, there's one more in red and white as well:
I like red and white:
But then, I pretty much like any colors, I suppose.
I'm pretty much a color freak.
"Too colorful", some might say (about some things - not necessarily these quilts, mind you..)??
But not me.
 Nope - those two words, in that order, probably not even in my vocabulary.
If you saw my house, you'd know that it's true.

    #4 reminds me of a little wall quilt I made for myself. Is it for sale? ~Mary in Placerville

  2. I am totally jealous! Being a quilter, I am in constant search for quilt blocks, remnants and tops. I like to finish them so they are complete. I am working on a red/cream sampler now with a total kitsch backing (the Lord's Prayer panel with horse and numerous doves). It's awful (tongue in cheek).
    Are you selling any of them? Any deals for a long-time follower of your blog? *fingers crossed*
    Give me a holla at tvonzalez at gmail dot com

  3. Mary, Thank you so much for the quilt pattern names!
    I do not have your e-mail, so if you'd like to e-mail me, you can click on my name Heidi Ann on the right side of the blog to contact me), and we could discuss the quilt top. I am considering selling some of them, yes. I don't know whether you will even see this comment. But thank you again for the information.
