There’s GOLD in them-there bags!!
As Sandy and I were leaving the Garage Sale on Saturday, we noticed this HUGE box, beside the outside door, full of FREE scrap bags! Sandy, being a new quilter and always on the search for fabric to add to her growing stash, grabbed a couple…but did I REALLY NEED scraps? Ahhh what the heck..it’s FREE and I did see some Homespuns in one of the bags! The rest I can give to Sandy!
Yes, there were some Homespuns in the bag but they were quickly forgotten when I came upon these babies!!…EUREKA…come to Mama!
Are they not the sweetest 4” blocks…
All hand pieced and stitched!
Apparently this quilter didn’t own a sewing machine and stitched EVERYTHING by hand! I can’t imagine…BUT I can appreciate!!
So what to do with these three blocks?…any suggestions?
Mug rugs are OUT!! No one is slopping coffee on these puppies!
Maybe a runner…?…or a narrow wall hanging?
What colour background?
I keep going back to the black and brown…
Maybe throw in a wee border…
Have a Magical Monday and Happy Quilting!~P
I know how you feel, I picked up a container of fabric at a garage sale and ended up with a bag full of already cut strips, some done blocks, and a wonderful little Easter wall hanging just needing the quilting to be finished. I was thrilled!
ReplyDeleteI did, I did, I bought some scraps at a garage sale recently, and did come upon a couple of "done" blocks. I am still looking at them. What a great find for you. I like the green background. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteYou should ask your friend if there are any more blocks in her bags, she might share!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure and to think this lady did everything by hand.
ReplyDeleteOn the point the blocks will take more space and your little quilt will be bigger. Such a nice surprise in the scrap bag.
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces for a runner. I love it when my friend sends me pieces of her leftovers, always make nice table mats.
