I found this at Goodwill today. It is all hand done, all the applique stitching. Even the squares are hand-sewn together.
It is just the top so now I guess I truly have a UFO finally!!!

It's huge !! 60 x 103

It just never ceases to amaze me the things that other people pass on or throw out! What a great find!!

Beautiful

I have found a few goodies, not necessarily quilting ones, at Goodwill, but never anything as nice as that top. It reminds me of a 1930's style of putting the colors together and some of the patterns used.

Gramma B 07-16-2011 07:00 PM

Lovely; why is it I never find stuff like that at Goodwill or rummage sales?

quiltgrammyt2 07-16-2011 07:04 PM

WOW!!!! That is beautiful!!! :thumbup: :D :D

sueisallaboutquilts 07-16-2011 07:06 PM

That is so beautiful!!! So many beautiful things to look at!
Great score, and for the life of me I can't imagine why that would be tossed out!

MonnaL 07-16-2011 07:07 PM

Holy cow!!! You hit the motherlode!!

slk350 07-16-2011 07:07 PM

WHAT A TRUE TREASURE YOU HAVE FOUND! Treasure it.

never found one like that at our Goodwill. Lucky you. Rmjoy. But a little sad that some person put so much love into making this and it ended up at the GW. But it will be loved by you now.

Why would anyone give that away? But good for you cause you found a real treasure.

jme 07-16-2011 07:56 PM

That is gorgeous!

Mary M 07-16-2011 07:56 PM

I am so happy that you were able to rescue that beautiful piece of work. It is such a shame that someone can put many hours of work on something and then someone else does not know the real value of something and dump it. It looks like a gorgeous quilt top.

Grandma Peg 07-16-2011 07:57 PM

What a great find.

Carron 07-16-2011 07:58 PM

wow, good find.

earthwalker 07-16-2011 08:00 PM

I can hear it calling from here "Chasing Hawk it is your destiny to finish me"....Seriously, that is one brilliant find. Very pretty and from the pics it looks really neatly done. Thanks for sharing your bounty!

Painiacs 07-16-2011 08:25 PM

That's a beautiful quilt!!

jackied 07-16-2011 08:27 PM

Wonderful, wouldn't you like to know the story behind it and how it wound up at Goodwill?

luvstoquilt 07-16-2011 08:52 PM

Oh what a lucky find. I am glad you found it..beautiful!

IrelandDragonQuilting 07-16-2011 08:54 PM

Wow! What a find!

Sewfine 07-16-2011 09:35 PM

Wow, that is a big beautiful quilt. Can't find anything like that here.

Harmony 07-16-2011 09:39 PM

Amazing to think that something that magnificent was hiding in a Goodwill store! And now it owns you! I hope you'll post again when it's quilted--should be quite spectacular!

Pickles 07-16-2011 10:18 PM

O my word what a Beautiful Quilt Top !!!!
Thats what I call the find of a lifetime there. Congrats to you :thumbup:

Samelia's Mum 07-16-2011 10:20 PM

Wow, absolutely beautiful! What a treasure. I never find anything like this when I go to second hand stores.

baskets4moo 07-16-2011 10:26 PM

Wow, what a find! Sort of makes you sad to wonder how it wound up there, but at least you found it and rescued it.
