    I love the way old quilts are rescued. I will not hesitate the next time I see a quilt top or a quilt in a thrift store to pick it up, pay for it and take it home to finish or use. What a wonderful way to recycle.

    Beautiful - lucky you! - I just adore seeing those quilts from the 30s and 40s - the fabric is so soothing.
