Ugly duckling into a....
 

Upon occasion I find a bag or three full of fabric scraps on my front porch, dropped off by party unknown.
This arrived as an unfinished top stuffed in one of the bags. I sliced and diced and inserted the pink sashing as there was so much pink already going on in the blocks. I added some richness to the mix with the border fabrics, and quilted each block with a curl of feathers. The outer border is quilted with a feather-and-curl. I think it came out pretty nice! The guild was happy to receive it and give it to a charitable cause :)

WOW!!! That is awesome.

Very interesting block. Beautiful job!

This is gorgeous!!!!

nicely done

my goodness this sure is pretty! i love the window look of the sashing. this is beautiful!

You are very good at 'making do' and turning out a very pretty piece.
How did you do that? Good color sense.

Excellent! ! ! !

That is fabulous! Lovely quilt.

I also love how you sliced and diced it and made it really pretty. Do you know who gave it to you?

came out great.
so, people just drop fabric off at you r house at random times???
where do you live, and do you want a neighbor.
I think that's really cool to do that.
better than a box of kittens, ( and I love cats)

glad it worked our for you :)

Great job and such a pretty quilt!

Novel ides of how to cut the blocks apart. The sashing adds to it very well. Donated it will bring someone comfort and joy. thanks and hugs to you.

Wow - I have never opened my door and found a bag of fabric. How lucky and great quilt you made from it.

Very nice!

WOW, I could open my door every few minutes all day long and never find anything, let alone fabric.
You made a beautiful quilt.

You certainly gave it dimension. Lovely quilt.

Wow! You slicing and dicing and sashing really upgraded this quilt. Nice job.

Excellent save !!!

Thank you for the kind words! :) The bags people leave are almost always just scraps and I haven't a clue who is doing it. Sometimes there are discarded blocks or sad failures thrown in, and I might try to save those. I have to go through the bags carefully, I never know what will be found in there! Once a CD, a rotary blade, very often there are sewing pins...and once a bra! It wasn't even cotton...
As soon as I quilt it, I'll show you another "save" that I had to resew almost every single seam. It came out quite beautiful, but really would have been easier to have made it from scratch!
No fabric scrap shall go to waste! LOL! They all get minced up and a few of us in the guild use them to make pet beds for our local animal shelter.
How I made this was I measured and cut 2" to one side of the vertical seams, top to bottom, and sewed in the pink strip. Then I cut 2" below the horizontal seams and sewed in the pink strips. Then I just bordered the thing and the top was done.

You think they will want this one back? Nice work.

I love the rose sashing- what a great idea. I have a friend who likes to buy panels and add boarders to make into a bed size. The idea of looking thru a window is just awesome. I can't wait to share that idea with her! Thanks!

Beautiful!!!!

Very creative save! Nicely done!

You sliced and diced yourself a beauty!!

Yes, it looks wonderful! Great job saving and giving this quilt.

I like what you did. Really pretty and the quilting too!

Absolutely lovely!

Wow, very nice!

Very very nice.

You did a great job.

It's beautiful!!

Cool. So creative.

What a great result from something not so pretty to start with!

Sew creative and fun, I love it.

Dang! Where can I find a fabric fairy like that? LOL...
Seriously, this came out really wonderful! Great imagination on the slice and dice idea!

Wow!! That is a gorgeous quilt. I wish I had fabric show up on my door step!! You have a wonderful secret "santa"!!

Very lovely quilt. I really like the sashing you added not in the seams of the blocks. What a creative and wonderful idea for this quilt. You did a very nice job of making this quilt unique.
