    This looks very much like mine. It looks hand quilted but I bought it about 15 years ago at a family dollar store. Mine is getting tattered but I still love it.

    I like the yellow border and they are the biggest wedding rings that i have ever seen. Good buy!

    it is lovely, and made even more so by being gently worn. it makes me wonder who made it, who used it, and how it found its way to a thrift store... one reason i love quilts is that each and every one of them has a story hiding inside. i wish they would "speak" more often than they get to...
