I went to an estate sale today and look what I found for a total of $5.00. There are 49 of the 9 patch blocks and about half of them are hand pieced. The larger pieces are also hand pieced. I am one lucky lady today!

There were 49 of these.

Good find!:)

Rascalonious 04-07-2011 05:51 PM

NEAT! Looks kind of 'vintage.' Too bad the sewer putting all that work into them never got to finish it. Maybe you will do so for her? :)

cdufur 04-07-2011 05:51 PM

I am so excited! But it breaks my heart to know that someone spent all that time piecing these blocks and no one cared enough to want to keep them. :( :(

What a great find! Enjoy.

jaciqltznok 04-07-2011 07:07 PM

that is about what we would have sold them for through the estate sale company I work for..

NOW go soak those in a bucket of oxyclean and then spin dry in a salad spinner....you just never know where/how they were stored and what critters and have been on them!

candlequilter 04-07-2011 07:35 PM

The lady that does the estate sales always calls me to come to the "pre-sale" as soon as they get everything set up. I've gotten a lot of neat things at really good prices by going to these when she calls. I have purchased several nice antique quilts and even a sewing machine and cabinet. Next to quilting, I LOVE to go to estate sales!

KandiKane 04-07-2011 08:17 PM

earthwalker 04-07-2011 09:31 PM

How cool...hope you finish them up...they are too good to hide away.

montanajan 04-07-2011 09:36 PM

Just think of the possibilities you now have.

akisan 04-07-2011 09:41 PM

You're a real lucky girl. I'm going to an Estate sale tomorrow. I hope I get lucky as you. Those fabrics are beautiful and all you have to do is add more and finished it up. Post some photos when you get done with it.

cherylynne 04-07-2011 10:19 PM

Beautiful vintage fabric and blocks. Let us see what you decide to make with it.

Nanamoms 04-07-2011 10:45 PM

Ok, I am definitely going to have to drag myself out to some estate sales!! :)

none 04-07-2011 11:03 PM

I'm sure that the lady who did them would be very happy to know her fabric is appreciated by someone who will make good use for what she had started.
