Goodwill Rescue
2 Attachment(s)
I was in our local Goodwill Bin store last month when I saw this poor quilt. I purchased it for less than $2 and brought it home. Into the washer and dryer it went and then I took the whole thing apart. None of the blocks were the same size, there were gathers, puckers and pleats all over the place. I kept 12 of the embroidered blocks and tossed the rest.
None of the blocks were the same size. I used iron-on interfacing on the back of each block, then trimmed them to the largest size possible. I knew if I just sashed them, the size differences would stand out. I decided to use a technique I hadn't used in a long time. I meandered on the quilt (over the embroidery too). I love how it turned out. |
So glad you were able to save the poor thing. The results are beautiful!

Really cute!

You did a wonderful job! The person that made the original quilt would be so happy to know her embroidery lives on.
|
Nice save! So glad you saved all that embroidery. Let me guess...you've done embroidery!!! :)

I'm in awe of what you've done. The beautiful vintage blocks suddenly look modern and fresh. Your quilt is absolutely wonderful. Great job!!!
|
Very pretty remake: you've masterfully highlighted those embroidery blocks. The new quilt is adorable.
|
Very good re-purposing of the embroidered blocks. Your setting of the blocks shows off their beauty to much greater advantage. Congratulations on finding this jewel and resetting it properly.:D

Good Save! I am glad you rescued it.
