I'm sorry.
Keep the quilt. Keep quite. Once you gave it to them, it was their quilt. If they didn't appreciate it, it's their loss. If your friend ever comes to visit you, be sure the quilt is visible. If she asks about it, tell her the truth. Bless the caring lady who found it at Goodwill.

I'm glad it found its way back to you!

Wow, that's a sticky one. I agree with everyone. Keep quiet about it, remove the label if you put their names on it, add a new one, and do with it what you want.
Of course, this is assuming :0, that you did not put their names and the date on the front of the quilt. That would be a whole different situation.

You are so lucky to have gotten your quilt back- What are the odds!!!!.. Id keep quiet and cherish it knowing it was now in good hands...
I would definitely make something for the nice lady that found the quilt and emailed you, She didn't have to do that.. She sounds like 'she' knows the love, time and devotion we quilters put in our quilts..

I would have no idea how to handle this. What a wonderfult thing this lady did for you to give the quilt back. Maybe you could find it a new home I am sure it would love to stay on a bed I know of :) I am sorry I wish there was some explaination of what happened. I would say believe it was a mistake and it was put in the wrong bag. Keep it and cherish the find.

I vote for keeping it, too. You're not that close with your friend, the quilt may not have been to the kids' taste in style/design/color, and a LOT of kids nowadays don't have an appreciation for what we've made. YOU appreciate it but it may bring back sour memories......maybe you'll find someone that would love it and appreciate it.

My two cents.....Don't fret over it anymore...we may nver know why it ended up in Goodwill but it may have been because the recips were downsizing. I would keep it and also surprise that lady with a wallhanging or some token like that. JUst goes to show how small our world is.
