One of the best finds I ever found...

On MaryJanesFarm we were recently sharing about the best finds we have gotten over the years as we went to thrift stores or garage sales.  In 1976, I went to an estate sale in Thomasville, Georgia.  On the back porch of a vero old Victorian home, inside a big trunk, I found this quilt.  I paid $3.00.  I brought it home and did a little mending, and have kept it all these years.  It is called a postage stamp quilt, because all the little separately pieced squares are so small.  I love the vintage fabrics, and though it is a little faded in one corner where it was folded, it is in pretty good but delicate shape.
