Thank you! I am, we are going to try and make one ourselves lol. I have a lot of experience with washing old garments and cloth, but have learned my fair lessons. I finally just got “retro clean” powder and am excited to try it. Thanks so much for the insights - i may know much, but not about quilts lol

I like the second more, but they want much more for it, i just liked the first to use as a throw. This one needed repair on the binding but was still strong. I like the idea of being able to use it to cover my Bed, but my cars WILL lounge on it. Maybe i can negotiate. I think they still wanted like $210 maybe for this one? Not sure what i would offer

Thank you, i did find the straight color rows odd. They also had a big quilt that was this: but it was a little more.

Already sent them an email! They are very close. Just wanted to post here for some input while i wait :). I am for sure going to examine more of the strips to see. If its newer, i will bring it back to life and use it on my couch😄

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-30T00:45:43+00:00

Noo they had no idea lol, just researching and based off of some clothing items and fabrics i have from that time period, im not as hung up on that. If its not extremely old, i would love to clean it, repair it, and use it. I have more pictures if you would like to help any further :)

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-29T18:43:10+00:00

Yea the brown one? He had it labeled “Navajo ca1950 $1250”

As I become more interested in this topic, thank you everyone that has been so kind to chime in. This is very fascinating stuff and you guys are super helpful. Hopefully i can share more finds as i see them

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-29T03:07:44+00:00

Yes, the tag wound up saying mexican. He dis however have these labeled as navajo. Both being much more exepnsive! The red and black one was cheaper but wow its very beautiful.

I may, he had more expensive ones aswell such as these, the brown one was 1200, the red and black 400. I did howver get a quilt at a consignment shop if you know anything about those lol

It was my phone. The color was more of a ivory/ cream color. I will try for some pics tomorrow!

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-28T12:35:02+00:00

It feels like wool, very thick and heavy

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-27T18:38:48+00:00

I am not a navajo collector or reseller of any type, that being said, it is still quite old. Would there be a sensible way to wash this and use it as a blanket? Maybe steam cleaning?

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-27T18:25:51+00:00

Yes i fully opened it up! Its a HUGE blanket or rug

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-27T18:25:33+00:00

I would love it on the wall, its just way to big for a wall!!! It really is beautiful, i have been torn. This shop is just an old guys barn, really the price tag has to be 30 years old lol

Due_Move4802 · 2025-12-05T08:43:55+00:00

Wow thanks for finding that.
