You may remember this quilt top that I rescued from the oppy in November last year.....
Someone has spent hours and hours lovingly constructing it......
Quilting Mick let me know that it's a bargello quilt (I had to google bargello .... sorry but I have very little idea about anything regarding proper quilts).
Anyway, it's been sitting amongst a pile of fabric ever since I bought it. But then yesterday, I saw this post over on Handmade Help calling for quilters and / or quilting supplies. I emailed the Waverley Patchworkers - info(at)waverleypatchworkers(dot)com(dot)au , and the fantastic news is that I can send them the quilt top, and one of their fabulous quilters will transform into an amazing quilt to give to a bushfire survivor.
Alls well that ends well.....

Thanks.
That is a fantastic idea! Someone will love that quilt.
Oh wow CurlyPops, that is so nice! First off, I can't believe anyone would dump it at an op-shop! *shock-horror-gasp* Second, what a find! Third, how generous of you to send it off! And fourth, whoever receives this, will treasure it forever, I'm sure of it! I would, especially if I'd lost everything! A quilt is one of those wonderful things that, the older they get, the more they're cherished! On behalf of whoever receives this, THANKYOU!
What a kind and lovely idea-someone will surely love it
Hooray for Curly Pops!
Great idea Cam
Absolutely brilliant - the perfect home for such a lovely quilt!
cam, sound like the quilt is going to end up just where it should-nice work!
There you go, all's well that ends well... :)
There was a reason why you spotted that unfinished quilt top after all!
I think u call that serendipity. Absolutely marvellous
This was a perfect solution for the quilt top!
How wonderful to be able to give the quilt a new life with someone building a new life for themselves too...
What a perfect ending for the unfinished quilt.
What a lovely destiny for this quilt... you obviously were meant to find and save it... and whoever did all of that first loving work would be thrilled I'm sure to have the ladies finish it off...
This quilt will have lots of stories to tell all the bedding and matresses it meets! :)
