I get overwhelmed by the 99 cent wonders! Every time I go there I spend about $15-20 on stuff to bring home. Wonderful stuff. And the rule is that Frank gets to go through the men's shirts before I cut them up! He used to be really paranoid about someone finding out he is wearing a 99 cent shirt, but when he finally got close enough to look at them, he found some really cool shirts. We fight overr the really cool ones!
Once I get the finds home and washed, I cut them into pieces that can be used in my quilt making.
Here is one that I started 3 years ago and then put away in a box. That often happens with quilters. They are called UFOs, UnFinished Projects. We get stuck, we get tired of a project or we get drawn away by a more alluring project. And the poor little unfinished beauty lays forgotten in that box. We all have them; some more than others. I won't tell you how many I have but let's just say there are more than Obama has states.I designed the center of the block to look like it was floating. The shadow it casts is made from black tulle. It was ingenious!
On this cutie, I have four more of the centers on which to add the shadow and individual borders. Then I can put them together and add some borders around the entire quilt. Two, maybe three. 
Once I finish the quilt top, it will go on longarm frame where a back and some batting will be added and all the layers stitched together. It will be finished when the binding is stitched around the edges to make them smooth and beautiful!
