    I love that look too! I'm always washing my quilts when I get them done to get the old look!

    Amen!! I love that look too. Why have quilts if they aren't going to get used. I love going to antique stores and seeing old quilts that are so worn...does my heart good. Seldom does a quilt get stored anywhere in our home...they are used all winter long.

    Beautiful! Are these yours? Do you collect vintage quilts? I'd like to. I have a couple of vintage tops.

    What beautiful quilts! I have wrinkles and crinkles but they don't work as well for me as they do the quilts! LOL

    Beautiful quilts! Like Terry said, the wrinkles look better on quilts than on faces, in most cases anyway. Maybe they need to be "fully developed" to look lovely like on a grandmother's cheek.

    What cosy looking quilts. They do get better with age don't they. I love the plates and the Irish chain, if ever they get too spotty or crinkly I'll give them a home. ;-)

    Love the quilts, wrinkles are part of getting old & i should know we don't get rid of our old folk so why do it to other things personally i love antiques much more than modern so these appeal to me
