    Tally Kathy any type of blankets that don't stretch....I have used them in a pinch but it takes alot of pinning...something I hate doing. The lil lite weight throws that aren't very big are perfect size for kids quilts .

    Enjoy your treasures. My Mother told me that during the Depression door-to-door salesmen did better than most others because they kept knocking on doors until someone bought something. I think it's the same with Thrift Stores. All who persist will eventually find their own treasure, so keep looking and shopping. I'm delighted for you.

    :mrgreen: I am so jealous of your great finds, especially the quilting frame for $2. You win the Shopping Award.
