My husband started it all!!! Years ago we did not have trash pick up, so had to haul trash to a landfill. Well he found an old quilt in the trash and brought it home, wanted me to wash it so he could use it to cover a project he was working on in the shop.
Well it was dirty, but figured I could always bleach out the machine after it was washed--grin. So washed it, Uh OH! it was beautiful when washed. the binding was pretty tattered, but other than that it was OK. SO he did not get it back. I began looking for the name of the pattern and that started it all. So he cannot complain about my "habit" as he was the one who started the whole thing.
Oh yes it was called Sawtooth. Found one like it in a museum in Kansas.
