    One of my friends had a garage sale today, she is a quilter. She told me to come on over cause she had some fabric out. I bought the whole lot... and with it she included several quilt tops she had made as well. Oh my goodness. The scrap ones are 1" squares with white on white blocks. She got these in a block exchange (might be fun to do on here) it just needs borders. The next one is lovely, it was a Round Robin quilt that she just never got around to finishing. Her center is amazing, wish you could see it up close!! Mounds and mounds of fabric!! Apparently that doesn't even dent her stash... :D Great day!!!

    I love the first quilt the most. Looks old fashioned to me. Looks so comfy you could just live in it all winter

    How lucky you are. I went to an 8 block yard sale yesterday, and didn't even find a "book" about quilting much less any sewing supplies or fabric, etc. Enjoy.
