So ... I found these two patriotic-themed quilt blocks at the thrift store awhile back, just as they're shown here. The middle of each block is a patriotic print, then they've been pieced in a Log Cabin-style around it with other fabrics. They've been hand-quilted with the back and batting. The backs are a nice, airy print of off-white with dusty pink design.
What will I do with them? Something! Basically all they need now is basting stitches removed, check to see if I need to add any quilting stitches, and bind them. Then I can use them as mini-wall hangings, or a table-topper, or whatever. But whatever happens, they have a happy home now. :)
You did good at the thrift store. I always look through the fabric and crafty type stuff at thrift stores. You never know what treasure someone else wanted to get rid of! Sometimes you find things a little old grandma hand made.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Debbie! That's one reason I go there so much - you never know what will turn up! It's like a treasure hunt. :)
