Why did I spend $1.00 on this?

You absolutely should think of the hours of work somebody put in because they loved what they were doing. I think it is pretty and I would put it all together & FMQ to use as a picnic blanket, or (I keep one in my car trunk in case of emergencies), there all kinds of uses for this 'labor of love'. You got a bargain and no way should you trash it.

Because you recognized that someone put her heart and soul into it, and it deserves to be loved by someone. Finish her up, and give her to a child who won't notice the mismatched points. children know how to love without judging, and every quilt deserves that.

- Every kind of fabric under the sun,
- no 2 blocks are square
- no points meet
- no seams match
- stitches by hand and machine, no rhyme or reason.
- no overall design
Any suggestions?

You paid $1 to "save" it probably because you recognize the work that went into it and felt sorry for it. In the past I have bought things that I wanted to "save"--such as a partially sewn quilt top with polyester, rayon, flannel, and a mish-mash of fabrics of every kind and color. The bag sat in my sewing room for a couple of years until I realized it was so ugly and horrible that there was no part of it I could really "save." So I set it free to live in our landfill!! LOL. Lesson learned!
