Why did I spend $1.00 on this?

I think it has much character and you are fortunate to have gotten such a deal ! Looks like you will have no trouble getting rid of it . I too would buy it from you !
Some one put lots of hand work into this quilt . I am happy she can't read this thread

The stars appear to be hand sewn if you look closely at the stitches, that is not an easy task with that kind of star. I have several of those type quilts and appreciate the effort it took to make that by hand, even though it is not the prettiest you may have, it may be the one with the most history telling a story of what it was like to make quilts by hand and not having all the necessary tools, but doing the best you can with what you have...I would also be willing to buy it from you and either try to make something from it or take it apart and remake it best I could. I think you have a treasure from times past, like an old antique that's seen it's better days that only some can really appreciate. If only it could talk....

What a wonderful group of Lemoyne scrappy stars. Take them apart and
resash them with a wonderful fabric and then add a couple of borders .
What a joy to find that....
I 'm going to strip scraps and make those blocks. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing ever takes as long as you think it does....except quilting..
