I made this little project last night. It was extremely easy. Paco sews like a dream. After I finished it, I framed it for my husband and it now hangs proudly in his shop. :)

The quilt top is 60 x 80 and I found it at a church yard sale for 50 cents. It has a few tears at the seams, but I don't think that is to much of an issue. I plan on putting a backing on it and stashing it in the linen closet as a spare blanket for guests.

This is more than fantastic find!! Can't believe anyone would sell the top for 50 cents. Surely did not have any idea of value. Aren't you delighted with such a treasure.

I love that quilt top! I was just thinking of making one like that! Lucky find!

The car is awesome, I can see why your hubby likes it so much. The quilt is beautiful, what a great find and for so little money. It was probably made with love for someone who didn't appreciate it, hence the yard sale. Lucky for your.

Very cool find. How are you going to quilt it? I'm sure the piecer would love to know it was going to be used.

It was on a disc that came with the accessory pack. I believe you can find the design on designsbysick.com
Antique hot rods was the title I believe.

Most likely Stitch in the ditch along the sashing and borders and maybe hand tie the blocks. I have no clue who made it. It may have been a donation from one of the parishioners.
