I checked the depths of the fabric bin and found a small number of quilt fabric bits and a total of TEN vintage quilt squares. A mix of hand pieced and machine pieced! Total cost $3. The yellow ones have been machine washed, and some of the blocks are wonky ... but who is complaining?

Here is a link to the Habitat ReStore Stores in USA and Canada - my source for a Singer 15-91 ($30!) and now for amazing antique quilt squares.
