A couple new-to-me vintage quilts arrived during the last few weeks. One is a gorgeous scrap quilt made of corduroy, and the other is a dazzling polyester quilt.

Kentucky, c. 1970, 84” x 90” |
Not much buying going on here lately. I've had to invest in a new wardrobe after dropping 60 lbs. It's OK, though. I've got as many quilts as I can handle right now.

| String Quilt, polyester, unknown maker, Chicago, c. 1970, 62" x 74" |
I was looking at this polyester quilt from Chicago, another recent acquisition, and admiring the back, so I thought I'd photograph it. What a great floral print. It's a lightweight canvas possibly used as curtains, tablecloth or upholstery fabric.

How cheerful! It's almost a reversible quilt. The back was pieced with four large panels, but there was no attempt to match up the design along the seams...and I love that!
