Time to get back to something! Whether it be blogging, sewing, or what have you....the time is NOW!
Last month my Mom and I went to a garage sale where I managed to leave with 5 totes full of fabric, a hand stitched quilt top, and several Grandmother's flower garden hexi blocks! What could I do? This wasn't even an estate sale.......it was a moving sale and I asked the lady why she was getting rid of her stash....she said, "Oh Honey, I have a big room in the house full too and I am not going to have room at my new house".........I really didn't even know everything I bought til I started looking through it all.......so......
I have added this hand sewn quilt top to my WOOFA list........even though it didn't start out as my UFO I feel a sense of obligation to finish this gorgeous quilt..........
I looked through my stash for a piece large enough for the backing with no luck but I found enough green fabric to piece together 16 large pieces that I think will work well.....

I agree. All that work and to give it away but into good hands. It will be lovely when it's finished.
Yay - glad to see you're back! Looking forward to catching up with you and seeing what you've been creating.
Wow! You scored at the sale. The hand stitching is beautiful. Are you going to hand quilt it too? That backing will be perfect.
Boy that sure was a pile of fabrics etc you got at the garage….
I’m looking forward to seeing you finish the colourful hexie quilt….
Have fun working on that quilt. It deserves to be finished and used.
Fabulous find and so glad you are going to get it finished...
