I am cleaning out our house and found some old quilts. They are at least 70 years old. Other than throwing them out is there anything that you can do with them?

My aunt took quilts like this that belonged to my grandmother. She cut them up to make teddy bears. As each new baby joined the family they received one of them.

Yes!!!! Don't throw them out. There are collectors who restore and preserve quilts because they are a part of history. Especially since they were usually made with flour sacks and out grown clothes, not the specialty fabrics that we now have for that reason. Where are you located? Send me a message and I might be able to put you in touch with someone who could give you some more information.

I agree don’t throw them out! Even damaged they are worth something. As stated above, they can be recrafted into pillows or wall hangings also!

How about donating to a quilt museum. There is one in Lowell, Massachusetts.

That is a playful, forest picture. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of some signs that we have on our property. The last sign points toward the exit. πŸ˜‰

Haha. Thank you. A peaceful haven in the forest is no place for cranky pants. πŸ˜‰
