I discovered this packet of fabric at Goodwill over the weekend for 99 cents & with my 10% discount card it was all of 89 cents!!

First picture shows a layout which previous owner had begun - 2nd picture shows the extra 3" squares (each stack has 75-80!) and there is one stack of appox. 75 (4") squares.

My question is what pattern was being attempted? I thought it was to be 'trip around the world' but there doesn't seem to be a center. I'm thinking of ripping out what is done and starting anew unless someone can direct me to the intended pattern. Thanks.

sorry cant help pattern-wise...but i am seriously jealous...wish i could find quilting fabric @ my local thrift stores!

Not sure of the pattern either, but love the prints! Seems like you got one heck of a deal for 89 cents!

same here every time i go to the thrift stores around here they don't have any sort of fabric at all.

Love the fabric. LOVE the price! I think you should unsew it and start over. JMHO

Edited to say I looked at the picture again and I do see a pattern there with the rows of patterns going in a slant.

Give me a few hours for some free time and I'll put the block pattern in EQ using those colors and see if a pattern develops after putting the blocks together.

I love those fabrics!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, you got the deal of the century!! :D
I bet it was going to be a TOTW- wouldn't be surprised.

around the world was my first thought too.... dont know why it cna't be one..... just add the appropriate blocks around the ends and u have a finshed center....

Any pattern will look nice....

what a find!

Looks like there is a diagonal pattern with the aqua plaid and the roses on white squares...
I'd continue that pattern...

thanks - it's the pink ones that are throwing me off - think they were working toward a center instead of center out?
What do you suppose the larger squares are for? Border?
