I love a cozy quilt, don't you? Even better, a vintage handmade quilt. These are fairly expensive and aren't easy to come by unless you happen upon one at an antique store.
A few months back I was checking out a thrift store and saw this quilt. It has a beautiful star design and is in really good shape, minus the "age stains" that you see, which I should be able to remove. No matter, it was worth the $20 I spent on it (talked down from $35, which would have been a steal anyway)! It's entirely hand stitched. I just love it.

That's really pretty and I agree, you got yourself a real deal.
I remember all the quilts my grandmother stitched by hand. I have a couple, but many I grew up with eventually bit the dust.

I saw a lady at a garage sale selling her family quilts because, as she said, she had all boys and none of them or their wives were interested. :(
Oh, very pretty! And a great price!
I was thrilled this week to find a Matelasse Coverlet 3-piece set which retails at Target for $100 at Goodwill for $25!
Score for us both!
Glad to see you're blogging again! Love the quilt!
beautiful I love quilts so much
Oh my goodness that is a steal! I've been hoping to come across something like this for years but no such luck. You're right they are super pricy!!!
Awesome, awesome find!
Ps...Thank you for your last comment! Hope you are doing well!
