DWR = Double wedding ring quilt. This one is four rings by five rings, and was purchased off ebay about a year ago.
There is some surface discoloration, but otherwise this quilt is in great shape - no weak fabric or holes. And the fabrics! Just classic depression-era prints.
Most fabrics are dress-making cottons, similar to our quilting cotton fabric today. Only a few pieces are of that coarser weave fabric that says "feedsack". it is hard to see in these photos, but there is dense quilting in an interesting pattern. Someone did a fantastic job.Please visit Coloradolady and see what other wonderful vintage things people are sharing!

I love your quilt and the prints.
I have one very similar to yours. I love and enjoy old quilts. I also like the newer ones as well, but they just do not have the character of the older ones.
Beautiful...I love the fabrics best of all....so charming! Have a great VTT!
What a treasure that double wedding ring quilt is!! You were so lucky to find it in such fantastic shape!!
That is such a great example of a double wedding ring depression-era quilt! Lucky you to be the new owner of this treasure!
wow it's gorgeous! i just LOVE all those vintage feedsacks! i also bought a similar quilt on ebay about 2 yrs ago as..LOVE it!
Very pretty, so much work!
This is lovely and in great shape too! WOW!
Oh these are so colourful and pretty. They look like so much work went into them. Thanks for visiting and for your lovely comment. 'Op shop' is short for Opportunity Shop (although I'm not sure why they are called this)! You guys in your part of the world call them thrift shops. We also refer to them as second-hand shops too! Have a Happy VTT.
This is just a beautiful quilt! DWR is just a wonderful pattern and this is a fabulous classic 30s example...lucky you!
Definitely my favorite post of the week! :)
Oh wow I love your quilt! You know I am a quilter, so I really appreciate seeing good quilts. Happy VTT!

Since I do not sew quilts, I love buying these treasures, the older the better. I can appreciate all the work that has gone into them.
this is a fabulous quilt. I've always admired the wedding ring pattern, but don't have a quilt in this pattern among my quilts. I like the old fabrics, and so enjoy seeing a quilt with dense small quilting. Beautiful!
