Thrift find

Oh dear I don't know if I am very lucky or just crazy!

I was at a local thrift store yesterday and found a bag full of fabric and on the outside it said Quilt cut out and started $5. well what was I to do leave her there no way  so I payed my money and home she came BUT  there is not enough of one of  the  fabrics sooo I need to work out what to do either look for a matching fabric or unpick what is done and use a different fabric. What would you do Ideas please ????? I think it will be a lovely quilt when it is done

Just find something as close as possible, I guess it is the apricot?
Finish it and write the story on the label.

As the quilt is finished on the diagonal you could do the other diagonal half of the square in a different colour way like a green, or you could unpick the squares and do half of the blocks with another colour and mix them up Just a thought.

Great find, lucky you :)

It looks like it is half done so maybe use different fabric for the other half. Either close to or a contrast. It was a great find.

Oh my, what a find!
I like Christine's idea to find a close match and include the story.
I also like Sue B's idea of half in a different colour way.
Sorry I'm no help at all, am I :)
