Went to 2 auction previews today. First one had a 66-16 in a cabinet and a 15-91 (poor wiring, good cosmetically) in a cabinet. I'll probably go just to see how much interest there is in them. After seeing the 2nd house, I don't know if I want to bring anything home for a while. It belonged to a stage 4 or 5 hoarder--terribly sad to see. There were 3 sewing machines, but I couldn't get to them, too many boxes in the way. They must have belonged to his wife. Some quilts too, at least one with the binding tacked down but unsewn.
But, at the first house, I did see a quilt hanging in a stairwell that was interesting and brightened my day. One side looked almost pink, but the other was faded from being in the sun. It was a diamond star done with tiny, tiny piecing! I had to take pictures:

My index finger showing the size of the diamonds in the border. The star was made of the same size diamonds. What a piecer!
