What I did see was a basket full of Vintage Quilting sqs but for whatever reason just not in the mood to stand in the long line to pay.
All Sat. I thought abt those sqs. So hoping I went back Sun morning to see the Treadle was now marked down to 39...still walking away, gave it another lift test. And the basket was untouched with all the pieces I'd seen on Sat.
Grabbed them all up and this is what I got for 13.00.

Some people have ALL the luck, LOL ,LOL I'm happy for you !!!

Lucky you! I don't think I could have left the treadle.

Those are great, but I couldn't leave a Redeye, either. I hope she finds the home she's meant to have, not left in a barn.

those are great blocks! I just love old quilts...well any quilts really. And the red eye.....I think I would have found a nice strong young man and seen if he could lift it for me!
