In January, I posted about a fantastic lot of fabric I got at a thrift store, including over 40 FQ. Fifteen of them were coordinating Moda marbles line, shown below. Here is the quilt I made from them, added a beautiful batik border I got at Brubakers fabric store when I was in Lancaster for AQS show in March. The pattern is called Portugese Tiles from a book I found at the library called Phenomenal Fat Quarter Quilts.
The last picture shows the doll quilt I made for this month's Doll quilt swap- a miniature version from the scraps!

Great quilts!

Awesome find at the thrift store and awesome results :hunf: with envy :-D

That looks great!

Very nice quilts. I've found some real good deals on material at Thrift Shops,.... my favorite place to shop. I've found new tablecloth's and drape's that made good sewing.

Love the pattern and choice of fabric.

I keep reading about those fantastic fabric finds like yours. All I ever find is "junk". Any suggestions about finding the shops that most often have fabric. The combinations are beautiful. Work is very good quality.

Very very nice. Love the colors.

Great Job :thumbup: Don't you love it when you find good deals and can make them work so well together :mrgreen:

Wow-that's beautiful. I love your choice of fabrics. That's a really neat pattern to show off the colors.

I have never seen this block before. How neat it is! Your fabrics really made this one special. Nice job!

Some Thrift Shops that I have gone to, have just junk. Things that should have been thrown away and other have great finds. I always find a lot of good buys after the rummage sales in the spring and fall. What they don't sale, they give to the Thrift Sale Stores. Winter is a bad time to shop them. In Wisconsin where I lived, I had better luck then I do here in Missouri.

THRIFT STORE???YOU GOT THOSE AT A THRIFT STORE???? Beautiful!

I really like that pattern....After looking at it for a while I see how it's made...really simple, but looks great!!! Great find on the fabric.

Beautiful!

They are FAB-U-LOUS!!!
Absolutely beautiful!!

wonderful find and wonderful quilts!

Rags to Riches! Beautiful.

I love your quilt vbourck. What a find!

I think in order to get the best choices you need to check back often and know when they put out the good stuff. I'm with you Judy, I don't find much good stuff. Glad to see that others are striking it rich.

I check our thrift store and never have had a good find.
Your quilt is beautiful. I have never seen that pattern before.

stunning

Lovely.

Inspirational quilts. There are so many things I need to look for now in thrift shops...glassware, fabric, charts....
That was a lucky find and a wonderful application of the fabric. Lovely pattern

Awesome/beautiful quilts...you do very nice work.

What fun! You got the fabric at a thrift store, and got the pattern from a library!! When you think about it, all you really had to buy was batting and thread! The quilts are beautiful.

Great find! And I really love that pattern. Those fabrics make it pop. Nice job.

Very pretty quilts. :thumbup:

Ooooo I love them both!!! Very stunning quilts :D:D:D

OMH!!! what a GREAT quilt! and thrift store! WOOHOO!!!!

That pattern is great made with those fabrics, well done

Wow, those are both great quilt. What a great use of those wonderful fabrics. Great job on both and thanks for sharing.

GREAT find at the thrift store---and I was the lucky recipient of the little quilt!! Aren't I the lucky one??!! LOL LOL

Absolutely gorgeous...

This gives me an idea...a 'mini me' quilt to give to pet owners to keep their furry friends off of the "good" ones. Very neat pattern; great use of your find. I'm jealous --- I never run into deals like this!

You are my kind of quilter! I also use thrift store fabrics. You definitely made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. LOL!
