I often mention in my classes that new quilters should pick up eBay quilt tops in order to practice their skills. Today, I decided to pick up a few “US-made quilt tops” and quilt them as “eBay Quilt Top” examples to show students. I guess you could say I am going to practice what I teach.
So what did I buy? Check out this log cabin quilt from eBay seller, jeano1961:
Look at all that lovely blank spaces to place some cool designs?
Here is a 1930’s vintage Dresden Plate quilt pattern using feed sack material in the Dresden Plates. This beauty is in excellent shape:
Again, can you see some stunning quilting motifs in the yellow blocks?
And here is a lovely Pineapple Blossom scrap quilt:
Can’t wait to quilt them later in the year! I will have fun designing them!
Anyone else ever buy nice quilt tops off of eBay? Take care, Carla

They are nice tops, but I can’t wait to see what you do to them with quilting. I am sure they will be over-the-top gorgeous!
Just wanted to let you know that your sand collection is featured here: here.
Can hardly wait for the quilting design class coming up the middle of this month. Will you use these tops as examples?
How did you guess? I decided I wanted to use new examples in the majority of the class. 🙂 See you soon! I am busy editing videos!
I bought one off e-bay this week — a large sunshine & shadow Amish type quilt in blues — I’ll just need to add a border and get it quilted.
