Another Goodwill rescue
1 Attachment(s)
I found this a couple weeks ago in a local Goodwill, and couldn't just leave him there. Only $3 for a quilt top is a nice deal in my book. All hand pieced! I think he will make a really nice picnic blanket after a few repairs, oh and batting and backing of course.

Wow, what a treasure!
|
nice
this would be a great quilt for a man |
A number of the fabrics look like they were cut from men's shirts. Reminds me of my dad. He almost always wears blue shirts.
|
Good for you for rescuing a fellow quilters hard work -- it will be a beautiful quilt when you're all done. I like the color combinations.....
|
Great find. It will make a great quilt for picnics.
|
Super glad that you were able to rescue this quilt top. Good for you. Someone put a lot of time and it's pretty. Thank you. BrendaK
|
great find happy you gave it a home!!!!
|
First Laurie gotta tell ya i'm a Bilbo baggins super fan too! lol my favorite book in the whole wide world or is it the third world. lol I read it to my two oldest kids after I had already read it. That was 30 years ago. Wow! I think your quilt rescue will make a wonderful useful addition to your home or anyone,s home. It was a great find. Please show us when your finished with it. Thanks for sharing.

Good find, great price. It's interesting where our sewing projects can end up.
I saw a gorgeous quilt being used to protect a bookcase being hauled in the back of a rusty pickup truck once. I should have offered the kid $20 for it. He probably would have taken it since the bungee cords were already tearing through the quilt exposing the wood. ~:( |
What a bargain Nice looking quilt!
|
Don't you wonder how these wonderful quilts end up in thrift shops and yard sales? If only they could talk.
|
It is wonderful!
|
Well, very nice and lovely quilt, it's looking awesome, i like it very much. The way you are arranging that squares are really very amazing to watch.
|
Awesome find and once finished it will be so pretty I bet:thumbup:
|
congrats on a great acquisition
|
You found treasure. Imagine the number of hours in that quilt!
|
Great find. And I can see why you're referring to it as "he." It's definitely a very masculine quilt.
|
lucky you! Its great!
|
You're so right about a picnic blanket. The colors are very nice. I'm always drawn to plaids so I would have grabbed that one too.
|
Great rescue. :)
|
Lovely - and sad someone felt the need to dispose of it - give it lots of love and let it know it's wanted...
|
what a great find and rescue
|
Good catch.
|
How lovely my first thought was it reminded me of a Gees Bend quilt enjoy it.......Sew glad it was you that found it.......
|
Nice find! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt :)
|
Very nice and I'm glad you are going to finish it up.
|
Love the assorted blues, it will make a very nice quilt when you finish it.
|
What a great find
|
$3.00 - what a bargain!! Prices on rescue missions and thrift shops going way up here up north where i live. Very striking quilt top..
|
Wonderful quilt top--don't you wonder who went to all that trouble and then never made the quilt? I hope that the maker will somehow know that it has found a new home where it is loved!

I know prices around here are much higher than they were just a couple years ago. Because this was considered bedding it was actually cheaper than if it had been priced as just fabric. Is that not ridiculous! |
Very nice.
|
I'd have snatched that up in a heartbeat as well! But then, I love going to Goodwill and the Salvation Army. You wouldn't believe the treasures I've found.
|
Very nice and will serve a good purpose:thumbup:
|
wow good find.:eek:
|
It's so nice that you "saved" it!
It looks like a wonderful quilt! :) |
WOW nice find good luck'
|
Wow such a deal! Wish I could find such wonderful hidden treasures at Goodwill or thrift stores.
I really like that quilt top, and it will definitely be a great picnic blanket, or even to keep in the car for a chilly ride. Your Goodwill is much less expensive than what we have here, the crazy prices they ask for 'junk', and good stuff is really pricey. |
Great find and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
