    Back it with an old table cloth or sheet, no batting, just use the pillow case birthing method, add some staight line quilting here and there. Now you have a wonderful screen porch table cloth, if it gets sun faded well no worry it was headed to the round file..............

    You needed a reason to spend $1 to study the legacy of a past quilter.

    I actually like it because it's wonky and has pretty colors in it.

    When the blocks were made, they had to "MakeDo" with what fabric they could find in old clothes, etc. I think it is really a great demonstration of the way old quilts were made. Maybe reborder it , and donate, or use it with love

    I second this one. Finish it and give it to a charity. Some homeless person will be kept warm. Lots of work there. Do not trash it.

    I think its beautiful. Believe it or not but it tells a story and a lovely one at that. The little snarls of newspaper and hand stitches..and machine ones..show the love that someone took as they tried to finish it. No..its not perfect..but it sure does glow! I hope you finish it and love it. =)

    Badly-matched points and all, I kinda like the stars.
    Reassemble it:
    I'd just remove the sashes and turn a sow's ear into a [silk] purse!

    I agree with some body above me use it to practice on
    and then give it away as a charity quilt.
    Some body will love it

    That would be a good one to cut up and display parts in a frame, make pillowcases, stuffed animals, small purse....pretty much anything smaller. It would be a good way to still use it.
