The 29 cent polyester patchwork lap quilt


Yes-it's polyester-not the most glamorous fabric in the world. But aren't the colors and pattern fabulous? I think so!

I can just imagine someone cutting up old polyester suits and sewing this together. Awesome!

I'm loving this pattern so much I might be trying to make one of these (only bigger) from vintage sheets. Yes-I think I will do that.....someday.....hopefully in the near future.

Have a great day!

29 cents? Only you could find this, for real. I love the pattern too and of course, I love your idea for using vintage sheets. Get cracking -- I want to see this and be inspired!

Yes, Jodi-it was still on the rack in the late afternoon. Meaning it was passed up by all the Sunday early birds. That's okay-I'll take it-thankyouverymuch!

Yeah-I'll try to get crackin'-just let me get through the graduation party first, k? :)

I looked at this several times when i was in Goodwill, but kept passing it up till it went on the sale rack. I guess i missed it and you scored!

I saw this at Goodwill. That is so funny that you picked it up. You have a good eye!

29 cents! You have the best thrift stores over there. I donated a few bags to my local thrift store last year. There are a pair of shoes that once belonged to me still sitting on the rack. I bought them on clearance at target for $2.85. They have them for the bargain price of $25. And it just gets worse the closer you get into the city. Im moving near you!

Come on over-we'd have so much fun!

See-at our Goodwill here-if things don't move within about a month-they go to 29 cents or 15 cents for housewares. Gotta move that merchandise!
