Here's one of the rescues, it happens to be out and used currently. Zero batting. When I bought it at the thrift store (my average price for such things was around $5-10) it was tied together and the fabric was essentially unused. I bought it for the vintage 36" wide on the back, but I ended up using it for machine quilting practice. We've been using/washing this for maybe 10+ years now off and on. Something was off with my quilting, maybe one of the threads is starting to rot out? and recently quilt a bit of quilting has come undone. But it held together and washed fine for long time.

Remember TriChem? I think the blocks must have been "painted" in the 70s-early 80s. It is a year's worth of simple flower outlines. I think it was mostly a test project using available fabric. Some of the solid blocks have been pieced.
