    Default Quilted a thrift store find
    Found this quilt top at our local thrift store for $3.99. I bought it for practice on my Juki & frame. I wanted to learn how to make a feathered wreath. One thing that I learned is that white thread on red fabric will show every mistake. I had fun with this and will use it as a quilt for the car for picnics & such. Thanks for looking.

    It is very pretty, I can see two pics. Doubt I would use for or any quilt for picnics, Just me, way too much work goes into to them for that.

    Great find. Those circles were a great place for the feathered wreaths.

    What a great find at the thrift store and I think that your quilting is wonderful. Just remember we are our own worst critics.

    That's a great find. The Red and White circles look like paper plates to me -- so IMHO perfect for use at a picnic!!!
