I found one of these quilts this weekend at a garage sale. Someone had taken a finished top, slapped a blanket in between and used a sheet as backing not even removing the hems. Folded over the sheet to the front & used stitches about 3" long to secure. It must have been used outside. Anyway I bought it for $2 (that's right TWO). Soaked it in vinegar & water. Noticed the blanket in the sandwich had dark patches showing. Took the quilt apart and found a beautiful friendship quilt All hand stitched & signatures hand embroidered

It's her baby, so if she's happy, so am I. I'm itching to get started on my next one though. I LOVE the fabrics and can't wait to get started!
