    Use it to practice your FMQ and then donate it. Someone is sure to love it

    I loved it. It's wacky and oh, so colorful. It'd be great quilted and out on the porch for the summer. Oh, what possibilities.

    I'm sure a doggie stuck in the pound would gladly accept it as a new bed!

    I think it's adorable and funky. I took a similar quilt top that a friend bought at a garage sale and used it as practice on my longarm. It actually looked pretty good after it was quilted. I'm still not sure whether the friend donated it or kept it. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...rm-t34459.html

    Every quit has value. I'll send you $5.00 for it and pay for the postage. I love it. Someone spent the time to put this together. You can see the old paper in the back. Just think about all the work they did. We don't know what was going on in the life of the person at the time they that did this. I think that it has a charm all its own. What ever you do with it I am glad you got it and it's not in the round file. BrendaK

    That quilt has such a story to tell -- if only it could talk. Did the quilter's machine break down? Was she crying when she made those crooked hand stitches? Now the top is finished and so is it's story -- unless you add your contribution to its legacy and share in its history.

    That's a true scrappy. Looks like something my mom would make. She never really got into the details of quilting, you cut out your pattern from the fabrics you have on hand and sew it up, it didn't matter what it really looked like because it was to keep you warm. She'd throw an old blanket inbetween and tie with the big think yarn. Brings back memories.
