I couldn't wait to show it off to my quilt friends when I went to my grandaughter's 2nd birthday party. My 9 yr old grandaughter grabbed it almost everyday while here before school started the 9th. I miss my dgd's when school starts, can't wait till the next school break.
Oh I think it is pretty! Good find!

I have no idea what your prices are for fresh fruit and veg, but I bought spring onions for $3.00 today and you got a gorgeous quilt! Thanks for posting pics of your precious finds and it's great you got the makers name for the creation of a label. I must learn to label....it is so interesting for people to read them if they find them years later as you did.

What a great find - it's so cute. And as for the ones in the dumpster ... it's good that you went by there to save them. I hate seeing stuff in the trash that can be used by someone else. I believe in Goodwill and the SA for donating useable items.
