A Night at the Auction

Image
and wow did I score some goodies! Lots of goodies! All these vintage quilt blocks, and a few finished quilts,  some more  vintage than others. And now the question?  Sell them as is or  turn them into finished tops?  Any thoughts? Also, buried in the box were some  awesome souvenir pillows.  And I found this little beauty of a lamp.  My mom had a gray set like this.... My sister got those somehow.... And this double knit fabric in the colors I need for a new rug at my side door.  Just in time,  the one there now is pretty embarrassing!  

Plethora of Patchwork and Pretty in Pink

I seem to be stuck on P's right at the moment. These were the weekend project at my house. My mom and dad came here on Saturday with the plans to do a marathon and get these tops...and more done. The "and more" are laying all over my sewing room right now and bothering me. My mom has so much leftover fabric and to be fair, she did have most of the blocks cut and several of these finished or started before she got here. We really worked on them to get the rest finished. The Ladies Missionary Society at our church makes these into lap robes and small quilts and distributes them to various places. These will now go to them and they will add the backing and tie them. I don't like the furniture in that room and these really look much better than the furniture, don't you think? As I was sewing I kept throwing a lot of the pinks and blues and baby colors aside, they are now laying in piles all over the room. I had enough to do start this nine patch and there...
