I spent this morning walking around and enjoying the sun in our local flea market and suddenly spotted this lovely $20 find ! it's a handmade quilt, big enough to fit our queen size bed and made with the prettiest fabrics ever!!! here are a few photos of my new find and if any of you can help me out with some info on this kind of quilt or how old you think it might be I will be more then happy!!! (just heard from my aunt Susan, my quilt is from the late 40's early 50's).
and a close up on the lovely fabrics:

It's a "tumbler" pattern and I would say 40's as well. Sweet!
