Quilt top I did NOT make but finished
 

Hi,

Let me start this by saying I did not create this quilt top...except for adding borders. I bought it at a yardsale several years ago from someone that was cleaning out a family members things that had passed on. I just felt that the lady did a nice job and it's pretty so I'd share it with you all. Anyway, it sat in my UFO cabinet until recently when I decided to work on said UFO's (seems to be a January thing for me). I added the borders from the fabric that came with it and actually had the backing fabric in my own stash! I did a simple meander w/star's on it to bring the back and front together so to speak and used the teal to bind it. This will be gifted to my nephew's fiancee's son this coming Christmas...he's 4 and I can't wait to meet him!

very unusual

I'd say that was a very nice, colorful save.

nicely done

I like it. It reminds me of turtles for some reason.

Very interesting pattern and I am sure the maker was planning on some result on this quilt. You always wonder what the maker's thoughts were and who it was for. Glad you got to finish it and it will be gifted.

nicely done

great bright quilt for a little boy

That's a real eye-opener! Those colors are fantastic.

What a fine quilt you rescued and finished.

This pattern and colors seem to take an African theme. What nice work!

PacMan! I enjoy finishing those treasures done by someone unknown. Kinda like a "new friend"!

I'm sure the original maker is smiling down on you. So glad someone saved this and has a special recipient in mind.

Very interesting.

The quilt is very pretty. I think she would be proud that you finished it. Great job!

Very interesting quilt. Great job finishing the quilt.

What a great quilt with an unusual setting and bright, bright colors. I really like it and how it came out.

Super cool quilt! (I'm a huge fan of those colors, especially in combination.)

Nice find and finish.

This quilt has a tribal feel to me. Very nice. I know quilters often get upset when they see family members discard quilts, but now this quilt has a new life and will be used and loved. Thanks for giving the quilt a chance to live a new life outside of the closet or worse yet the garbage!

Thanks! I have a feeling this quilt will get lots of use and love by my new nephew!

Very nice job!!!

Very different design.

Quite different, glad you finished it.
