Great score!!
And thanks for posting ... I have several house blocks made from that same pattern ... and they have sat and sat and sat as I didn't think I wanted to see all of them in one quilt. I think you just gave me a solution!!

I am glad you saved this. I always feel so sad when I hear of a home made quilt being found in Goodwill. I always think of the quilter giving it with such love to the recipient and then it ends up at goodwill. I am glad it was found by someone who loves and appreciates it though.

It is a very nice little quilt, and thank you for saving it. I do however know how a lot of homemade quilts end up in places like Goodwill. My local Ministry center is a lot like Goodwill. I once went there to donate a bunch of clothes that my boys had outgrown. While I was there, I saw a lady walk up with a stack of homemade quilts that she was donating. The quilts were all brand new, and made by the lady donating them. I asked her why she donated them, and she told me that she simply enjoys quilting and making quilts. However, she has more than she needs at her home so she donates them for the Ministry center to sell and get money from for their food bank, etc. The lady who makes the quilts is Minnonite...they are sort of like the Amish and her quilts were beautiful.
