Some people rescue animals. Not I. I rescue quilt tops. My latest Rescue Quilt is a pinwheel or flying geese type quilt. I have researched the pattern, but have not been able to identify it. It has alternating pink blocks and came to me completely disarranged. I expected an easy fix. By removing one long seam and adjusting the placement of the blocks, I was able to achieve the desired effect The problem is that many of the squares were not true squares. I adjusted many of the blocks and it looks really good. But it's not perfect. Still and all, the blue plaid borders and black print binding really show it off to great effect. It's a great example of how to rescue a vintage quilt top that has never been quilted or used. Now it is both beautiful and functional. .
