Another quick post – it’s been a busy week! I just wanted to share a couple shots of my favourite quilt. I’ve always loved quilts and last summer Sara and I scored big, finding this beauty for $20 at the Aberfoyle Antique Market.
Can you believe we got this for $20!?!? I just absolutely love the faded colours, the vintage patterns and prints and the honey-comb shaped quilting pieces. It’s just the quintessential old farm-house-type quilt and I love it. I always see and notice new colour combos on it and get inspired again and again. Every time I look at it, or snuggle under it, I just smile, knowing how perfectly ‘us’ it is (and how cheaply we bought it!).
Hope you like it too!
Love love love this quilt!!!!
Thanks Steph!!! I’m emailing you NOW!

This quilt is beautiful! You’re right, there are so many amazing colour combos!
Love your blog!
My Grandmother made me a quilt in the same pattern …. it’s called Grandmother’s Garden. Enjoy!!
Ooh cool! Thanks Allison! Neither of my grandmas were quilters, but I do have a few things of theirs that I love to still use. Keeps them alive right?

Big score Micheal, and wonderful colors. We have many quilts here and I am also a quilter and have been to and had many a quilting Bee. A huge amount of work goes into one as well as a lot of love. Glad you enjoy yours. Nancy
great… at xmas it can be a tree skirt using all its colors for the decorations on the tree…
Love these quilts! Nothing adds vintage charm more than antique quilts!
So very jealous! I have been looking for the right quilt to go with furniture I inherited from my Grandmother that is now in my Guestroom. And here it is…..on your blog! Blast! But at least thanks to Allison I have a keyword to use in my search!
