Another Goodwill rescue
 

I found this a couple weeks ago in a local Goodwill, and couldn't just leave him there. Only $3 for a quilt top is a nice deal in my book. All hand pieced! I think he will make a really nice picnic blanket after a few repairs, oh and batting and backing of course.

Wow, what a treasure!

nice
this would be a great quilt for a man

A number of the fabrics look like they were cut from men's shirts. Reminds me of my dad. He almost always wears blue shirts.

Good for you for rescuing a fellow quilters hard work -- it will be a beautiful quilt when you're all done. I like the color combinations.....

Great find. It will make a great quilt for picnics.

Super glad that you were able to rescue this quilt top. Good for you. Someone put a lot of time and it's pretty. Thank you. BrendaK

great find happy you gave it a home!!!!

First Laurie gotta tell ya i'm a Bilbo baggins super fan too! lol my favorite book in the whole wide world or is it the third world. lol I read it to my two oldest kids after I had already read it. That was 30 years ago. Wow! I think your quilt rescue will make a wonderful useful addition to your home or anyone,s home. It was a great find. Please show us when your finished with it. Thanks for sharing.

Good find, great price. It's interesting where our sewing projects can end up.

I saw a gorgeous quilt being used to protect a bookcase being hauled in the back of a rusty pickup truck once. I should have offered the kid $20 for it. He probably would have taken it since the bungee cords were already tearing through the quilt exposing the wood. ~:(

What a bargain Nice looking quilt!

Don't you wonder how these wonderful quilts end up in thrift shops and yard sales? If only they could talk.

It is wonderful!

Well, very nice and lovely quilt, it's looking awesome, i like it very much. The way you are arranging that squares are really very amazing to watch.

Awesome find and once finished it will be so pretty I bet:thumbup:

congrats on a great acquisition

You found treasure. Imagine the number of hours in that quilt!

Great find. And I can see why you're referring to it as "he." It's definitely a very masculine quilt.

lucky you! Its great!

You're so right about a picnic blanket. The colors are very nice. I'm always drawn to plaids so I would have grabbed that one too.

Great rescue. :)

Lovely - and sad someone felt the need to dispose of it - give it lots of love and let it know it's wanted...

what a great find and rescue

Good catch.

How lovely my first thought was it reminded me of a Gees Bend quilt enjoy it.......Sew glad it was you that found it.......

Nice find! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt :)

Very nice and I'm glad you are going to finish it up.

Love the assorted blues, it will make a very nice quilt when you finish it.

What a great find

$3.00 - what a bargain!! Prices on rescue missions and thrift shops going way up here up north where i live. Very striking quilt top..

Wonderful quilt top--don't you wonder who went to all that trouble and then never made the quilt? I hope that the maker will somehow know that it has found a new home where it is loved!

I know prices around here are much higher than they were just a couple years ago. Because this was considered bedding it was actually cheaper than if it had been priced as just fabric. Is that not ridiculous!

Very nice.

I'd have snatched that up in a heartbeat as well! But then, I love going to Goodwill and the Salvation Army. You wouldn't believe the treasures I've found.

Very nice and will serve a good purpose:thumbup:

wow good find.:eek:

It's so nice that you "saved" it!
It looks like a wonderful quilt! :)

WOW nice find good luck'

Wow such a deal! Wish I could find such wonderful hidden treasures at Goodwill or thrift stores.

I really like that quilt top, and it will definitely be a great picnic blanket, or even to keep in the car for a chilly ride.

Your Goodwill is much less expensive than what we have here, the crazy prices they ask for 'junk', and good stuff is really pricey.

Great find and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day
