If I remember from the little quilt history I know, the crazy quilts were especially popular at the turn of the last century.<br /><br />I love places like Goodwill and thrift stores. On my last blog post, I showed a picture of the Friendly Village coffeepot I found at my favorite antique mall for just a few dollars (it is one of those places that sells expensive antiques but also lots of vendors who are very reasonable).<br /><br />It was inexpensive because of a crack and chip in the lid. But I loved it because 1) the flaw made it cheap instead of expensive, and 2) I have this thing for flawed objects that other people think have no value.

The best way to get rid of 'cooties' (we have a lot of experience through my work) is to keep everything in the plastic bag after you buy it. Bring it home in the trunk then toss it all in the drier on high for an hour with tags and all. Then wash and re-dry. The high heat does the trick.
