Default Yard Sale Treasures

Yard sale season has exploded. Nearby by town does a community sale the 1st Sat. of June. Look what I found[ATTACH=CONFIG]551592[/ATTACH] Only paid $10.00 for this doll carriage.[ATTACH=CONFIG]551593[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]551594[/ATTACH] These blocks were in a zip lock for $5.00. There are 10 solid & 16 print butterflies. I'll be doing a 5 x 5 layout because 1 of the solids is torn. Do you think a block sashing or deep gray would work? Thanks

Great finds! I can't believe you only paid $10 for that carriage! It's hard to tell from the photo what the butterfly background fabric color is. What are the other colors in the butterfly blocks?

Fantastic doll pray. Have you thought of black sashing to match the blanket stitch.?

Cute buggy. Can you show us all of the blocks in a photo. Hard to tell what color to use for the sashing.
