Goodwill Rescue
I was in our local Goodwill Bin store last month when I saw this poor quilt. I purchased it for less than $2 and brought it home. Into the washer and dryer it went and then I took the whole thing apart. None of the blocks were the same size, there were gathers, puckers and pleats all over the place. I kept 12 of the embroidered blocks and tossed the rest.
None of the blocks were the same size. I used iron-on interfacing on the back of each block, then trimmed them to the largest size possible. I knew if I just sashed them, the size differences would stand out. I decided to use a technique I hadn't used in a long time.
I meandered on the quilt (over the embroidery too). I love how it turned out.
