Antique Shopping

We are heading home today after a wonderful week of exploring, shopping, family, and friends! I thought I would share with you some of the wonderful quilts I found in antique shops along the way.

Isn’t that arrow fabric great? There are 23 blocks and they vary greatly in size. I have some vintage shirting fabrics I will use to frame them and then trim them to the same size. They are all hand pieced.

I also got two of these little enamelware boxes to add to my collection.
