Yep!! And I like it!!
My friend is an Estate Sale Guru - she helps people sort through and then prepares the sale, and I went to one of her sales.... Not knowing what I would find - but she did say I would enjoy the sale.....
I feel like I should have known what that meant - haha!
It had some stains, and little bit of grease on it - so I washed it In the bathtub with Dawn Dish soap - and sorta soaked the stained spots a little more....
All but 2 of the stains came out - the other two sorta look like the quilt was too close to a radiator at one time - but it cleaned up pretty good!
and when I hung it in my house - We laughed! there is a photo of my husband and his Dad on the table right in front of where I hang my quilts... and my husband said - WOW! I didn't know how Purple Dads shirt was..... Bwahh haa haa....
Happy Wednesday
See you back for Finished or not Friday!!

What a beautiful quilt!! Quite a find.
Nice buy.
Wow, that is an amazing quilt!! The handwork that went into it...holy cow!! You scored!!!
Congrats on your lovely estate sale find!!
I was going to say "I don't see any plaids", and then I looked again. Can you tell if it is hand pieced, or not? The hexies look big enough to be machine piecable. I like the way she did the straight sides.
Gorgeous "find"! It's good to treat yourself .... I'm sure this Grandmother's Flower Garden has found a loving home!
Gorgeous quilt! i would have bought that one, for sure. Your friend is a great friend!
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! and my favorite color, purple.
Thats a gorgeous quilt, and what a unique edge treatment!
Love that it was made with that soft purple background -- LOVE.
I can see why that came home with you. It has an unusual background color and an unusual finish and it's a real beauty. Reminds me of one of my grandma's quilts.
What a spectacular quilt!
Absolutely gorgeous! It cleaned up really well.
Great quilt. It looks almost new.
Wow, what a find!
What a treasure! And obviously the perfect way to hang it. So neat that you were able to get it mostly clean. My grandmother had one, hand sewn, with yellow as the background color. I wasn't crazy about it when she passed, and it was so frayed. Now I'm so sad I didn't hang onto it.
