I found this awesome handmade quilt for only 4.00. Appliqued by satin stitch and also has a hanger on back, really cute.

Congrats on your find. It's really cute. Would make a great table topper.

​Great rescue!

What a wonderful find, it is so pretty.

roguequilter 01-13-2018 12:47 PM

that is really cute. it may have a hanger on back, but my bet is that it started out as a baby quilt & got hung up later to admire/preserve. i recognize those calicos from the 90's & tho i don't remeber quilt kits being available back then (in fact, fat quarters were a new quilty novelty) there were lots of very sweet patterns like this in many of the quilt magazines. a great find, congratulations! ..i love rescuing other crafters works of art & love.

Cute! How on earth could someone give it away to the thrift shop. ��

jmoore 01-14-2018 06:11 AM

Perfect for spring...what a nice find.

EmiliasNana 01-14-2018 07:04 AM

So glad someone who appreciates quilts rescued it. It makes me sad to ponder how many of mine will end up there once their usefulness is gone. Like you, wish there was a story behind it............a reminder to all of us to label our quilts and maybe the reason for gifting.

buddy'smom 01-14-2018 07:53 AM

Yes it is sad, I to often wonder about all mine. I don't know how many of you remember Stewy from the board, he has kept 6 of my quilt tops and won't return them, several are hand embroidery so there lost forever. He did quilt three for me and there terrible, stained and more. Breaks my heart I'll never get them back and they can't be replaced but do wonder what he did with them. I treasure my quilts and if I receive one as a gift, it's even more special.

Jane Quilter 01-14-2018 07:59 AM

cute as a bunny. great find. congrats on treasure finding.....

sJens 01-14-2018 07:59 AM

I am so glad that that quilt found someone that will love it. I know that some of the quilts I made for DG have been given to thrift stores. It was hurtful but now I know they may have found their forever home. That is a beautiful quilt and a lucky find.

Mariposa 01-14-2018 08:37 AM

Congrats on the great rescue! :)

buddy'smom 01-14-2018 02:43 PM

Thanks ladies.

quiltingshorttimer 01-14-2018 02:44 PM

that is so "stinking cute"! Love how the carrots have some nibbles out of them! What a find.

sewbeeit42 01-14-2018 06:29 PM

You are very lucky. Our Thrift stores around the San Fancisco Bay Area have prices that are next to retail and I have found some mor that retail. It is hard to get a bargain.

Jules51 01-14-2018 06:59 PM

What a great spring time find! It is beautiful!

jlt37869 01-14-2018 08:08 PM

Very nice!

Great find! I am happy you gave it a good home.

ArtsyOne 01-15-2018 04:29 AM

So sad to think about the work that went into this and someone gave it to a thrift store - I'm so glad that you're going to give it a good home. Those rabbits are wonderful!

sprice 01-15-2018 06:03 AM

How cute! I suspect that some of these thrift store finds were started for kids who grow up way too fast for the sewer! I found 8 yards of lovely cars and trucks fabric--I suspect someone had the idea of making curtains for a little boy who isn't so little anymore! Will be made into Project Linus quilts.

My goodness. How could someone let that go for just $4.? I am glad you rescued it. It now has a good home.

Really great find! I like that the rabbits are white on the gingham and not the other way around. . .
