Thrifted quilt
Wow, look what I found while thrifting the other day!
They labeled it a child's quilt, but I'd call it a lap throw, or a great picnic blanket.
Handmade patchwork of Hawaiian fabrics

Different fabrics on both sides
It was at a little hole-in-the-wall thrift shop that keeps its fabrics stuffed in drawers, rolled up, and taped.
I knew this one was special right away.
Thriftstore price: $3.50
I got other goodies too--check it out here.

That's a great quilt! Dont'cha just love those bargains!?
Man, I LOVE thrift stores. Haven't found any treasures like that lately, though -- that's a great find!
wow - cool!
That quilt is just humming with life.
neat - that is a Barbie quilt.. At least that is my take with the Hawaiian fabric & all...
I took a photo of a quilt made with silk ties this past weekend at a quilt show - not sure when I'll post it to my blog, but it is in my flickr already.
