The other day, my mom and I did a little thrift and antique shopping in the town of Freeland, here on Whidbey Island. One of my favorite antique mall - The Red Rooster in Freeland is a must visit, each time we're on the island.
I don't think I've told you how much I love yo yo quilts and how I've wanted one for a super long time... a really super long time... Well, I finally got one. Yippee! Whoohoo! While we were shopping my favorite antique mall on Thursday, I found it. Oh, and the best part - my mom bought it for me for my birthday, which is in August. Yay!

Can't wait to display it in our "couch room" - first I gotta get hubby to make me some type of hanging quilt rack... Ahem...oh, Honey!!!!

It is a beautiful quilt...a lot of time must have went into that for sure!
What a happy find. I've been going to make a yo-yo for years....so happy you found yours!

I love how you appreciate old fabrics. This is a beautiful example of love and labor from the past.
I have a few finds from that antique mall myself.
Happen to come across your blog and thought I'd leave a comment. What a beautiful quilt. So pretty. I to would love to have one of those. I've seen them on a few other blogs. One blog looked liked she was using it for a table cloth. I'm sure she wouldn't let anyone eat on it though. I'm sure it was for decortive purposes only.
I love this beautiful quilt. Oh how I would love to make it up to whidby Island some day to see it's loveliness.
Smiles,

It's the perfect yo-yo quilt! How sweet of your mother to get it for you!
Your quilt is beautiful, a very special gift from your Mom.
