Thrift shop find
Hello Quilters, a friend of mine brought me 25 blocks she found at a thrift shop for four dollars! The blocks were not square, not even either.(see first picture of block) Angie wanted me to put the blocks together and quilt it. I told her I was sure I wouldn’t be able to get the block pieces to align as they were about 19 inches one way and 20 the other. I trimmed them all to 19 inches. My biggest ruler was 25 inches to I had to use my 6x24 in ruler with it. This is the finish and doesn’t look too awful for a $4 find. I picked up backing at Hobby Lobby for $30. Size I’d 90 inch square after quilting. Thanks to you members here on QB we found out the block is called Mexican Star. Last picture is my set up when I quilt. My LA table is side by side with an six foot folding table. Both of them are then butted up to my nine foot dining table. Works for me-lol
