Dollar Quilt Jacobs Ladder

I love a bargain, don't we all?  Scrap quilts are often that, made from leftovers, orphans, donated fabrics and GoodWill treasures!  I found the blacks and reds for this manly treasure by searching Facebook marketplace for "Quilting Fabrics."  I found a small square dancing manufacturer in my own neighborhood, right by my Credit union, that sold 10 pound bags of fabric for $1 each.  Umm Hmm.

Add to that a Missouri Star Jacobs Ladder made from 5" charms I cut from the scraps (I made half with dark centers, half with light centers) and there it is!

The backing is another treasure I found on sale after Thanksgiving at JoAnn fabric for $1.49 a yard.  It's a white with black and red ditsies.  I used about 2 1/2 yards.



This quilt found a home in my husband Pete's office!
