I found this last weekend.....Paid $5.00 for it! It has one block missing, and some of the seams are frayed a bit. I can see it was made from old clothing, some of the seams from the clothes are visible in the blocks. I will enjoy mending this top and making it into a usable quilt!
|
Very nice! Good thing you rescued it. Wish I could find things like that.
|
What a wonderful find! Glad someone will have it to appreciate it.

I say it's a very lucky quilt to have been adopted by someone who will give it a lot of TLC. Does it have a label telling about it and the maker on the back? Enjoy your wonderful treasure.
|
I'm so happy for you and the quilt. It will have someone to love it. You are so special to be able to find and mend this quilt. Good luck to you!!!!!!

It's my favorite kind of quilt and I wish it could tell it's story. All those old clothes have been around, don't you think?

That's very pretty Ditter. My son lives in DB Fl. and he bought a quilt top at an estate sale for 50 cents that looks a lot like that one. It's made out of polyester scraps (remember when we wore dresses made out of that) and he brought it to me the last time he came home for a visit. It is a little heavy and I don't know exactly what to do with it. I think I'll get a nice piece of flannel and tie it and give it to the homeless shelter. I don't need it. It's too heavy for batting. It smelled musty and I had to wash it. It washed real well.
|
Great find!
|
What a great find - beautiful! Glad it found a good home along with a great price for you :) :thumbup:
|
That was a great $5.00 purchase.
|
wow what a great find
|
Great find and a great deal :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Someone spent a lot of time on all those blocks and you sure got your $$$'s worth on it. Yay for you & enjoy your mending! :D
|
It looks like the designer started with the block in the center and kept adding frame after frame around the outside from that spot. Is it actually quilted or is it just a quilt top? I don't see any quilting stitches but they might just not show in the photo. In any case it is a find.
