It looks French-Provencal fabrics. Pity there is no label on it.

That is so nice. The fabrics look familiar also. If I had seen it, I would have purchased it also.

sew bright and cheery, glad you found it. Too bad there wasn't a label or any info on it??? at least a date and maker? It has a wonderful new home now and you know from "whence it came"

Have you ever thought of donating your quilts to a Children's Hospital? My quilt guild makes and donates to the Children's Hospital in Atlanta. Along with other guild's, our goal is to see that each child goes home with their very own quilt. They use them while in the hospital.

Love it! To me it is scrappy and I adore scrappy. Years ago, while living in California, and touring the square in Sonoma, I went into the St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Shop and saw an old yo yo quilt of scrappy fabrics from the 1930's and 1940's. Took it home, washed it gently, repaired several of the yo yo's. Paid $12.00 for it. Best buy I ever made. I too have always wondered, who took the time to make all these yo yo's and who was it for. So glad I rescued it from being destroyed. You did good. Have a Happy Holiday.

I don't think people appreciate something "home made" any more. Some people would rather spend their money on something that looks "professional" rather than something that looks like a regular person made it.

It is very pretty. I wouldn't have passed it by, either.

I've found some very lovely quilts in Good Will. It seems that when a "sewist" passes on or becomes unable to care for her/his self, the family disposes of treasures like this. Perhaps they have taken their pick of the treasures before donating the rest of the fabric/project collection; perhaps not.

Moral of the story is to designate who gets what out of your fabric, projects, machines, equipment collections and then ask that the 'unclaimed' items be donated to a local guild or charity that can make excellent use of them.

Dottymo, make a will and leave it to those who will love it, designating that 'leftovers' go to a local quilt guild that engages in charity work. Don't make it your brothers responsibility to dispose of your treasures!
