I just love old quilts and have purchased several over Ebay during the last 18months, mostly from America and many are only tops as these are the cheapest to post and although they are not quilted they still have the age and charm of years gone by. I do also have some fully quilted ones, some that I use everyday. These were all a very good price and I have only been disapointed in a purchase once or twice.
It all started because a friend of mine took me to a lady in Sydney who sold old quilts and as I quilt and have a passion for antiques I thought that purchasing an "investment" quilt would be a great idea. I had a figure of about $500.00 in mind. After much browsing and reviewing, discussion and agonising I ended up with a delightful English quilt with Granmother fans on white, about 1950's and nicely quilted with very little batting.

My first quilt purchase off Ebay US was this little top, all pieced and chopped and restitched t
ogether, all crooked but delightful, it cost all of $15.00.
