It came from the same gal who sold me my instant thread stash, and was her first finished quilt. She was selling it for a dollar, with the idea that someone would reuse the fabric for something else. I think that's what my original plan for it was.
But it's turned out to be a great utility quilt for hauling down to the river. The high loft batting cushions us from the rocks slightly better than beach towels would. (I had a chair last year -- don't ask what my sons did to it.)
This is what I had planned for my first attempt at a string quilt, if I'd ever made more than four blocks. It's what I will do with that quilt when I finally get around to fonishing it. After I work my way through Bonnie's string book.

Utility quilts are good. Funny how it is easier to make someone else's discards serve that function than our own (discards). I would say you are getting your dollar out of it.
