This quilt I found in an antique store in Bozeman, MT a few years ago. I wanted it really bad and the price wasn't terrible, but it was more than I wanted to pay because the quilt was not in really good condition....but those red squares kept calling to me. The women wouldn't budge on the price, so I made a rash decision and paid for it on my credit card...thinking I would explain it to my husband later.....he didn't even ask about it....I know, I am fortunate! A lot of the colored blocks are thread bare and worn, but the red is still in great condition.

I love the red, too! Thank you for sharing this quilt!
You would have always regretted not getting that beautiful quilt - good job! The wear just makes it more authentic, and who knows its history? I love vintage quilts! Thanks for sharing, Sheri.
great quilt, are there any signatures in the blocks?
the red is great, hmm one that will be reproduced in a fabric line someday?
