You might even consider contacting the Post Master General in Washington, explaining the situation and including a photo explaining the quilt's importance to you in detail.... the time it took to make, the cost of materials and how valuable it is to you and the whole quilting community.

Here is the site I believe was referred to: http://lostquilt.com/
People actually recover their quilts many times.
Good luck to you.

My goodness!
I would not stop communication with UPS...I would send a communication to the CEO outlining your experience.... maybe with a cc to the supervisor in charge of shipping or tracking.
They have to know where it is....everything they handle is barcoded and scanned on arrival and departure from wherever it lands.
Do you know where it "went missing"? Someone has the tracking number and if you can get it and plug it into the UPS tracking site you will get a clear log of it's handling.
Hope you get it back soon!

I just went to the lost quilt site, and your quilt is the first one on the page giving a description and other pertinent info. Sure hope you find it. I think we should all bookmark that site and check it out fairly often in case we see one we might recognize somewhere, and not even know it is missing by the true owner. There are so many quilt shows all over and someone may try and pawn one off as their own.
I also printed out the Quiltmaker's Documentation page, which I think I will make several copies of and use them for all of my quilts. I have photos of almost all of the quilts I have made so far. Not of all of the UFO's but of all that I have finished. I make sure I label all, and there is a hint on this site about putting your name somewhere besides on just the label. Some really good pointers on this site.

They don't seem to get it - i want my quilt back! It's hand pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted. I will never get those years back and I refuse to believe that it just disappeared.
And now, to top it all off, it's been juried into the AQS show in Paducah.
If anyone here knows anyone at UPS who can help me, please let me know. My heart is breaking, and the show deadline is coming up at the end of the month.
Thanks, everyone.
