I can see my DH's grandma having a pant suit out of some of the material. How cool is that? You just made that woman's day in heaven. God Bless her.

I couldn't wait to get home and dig into the bag and see what it looked like. I was thrilled, it was like "Christmas"!!!! It's in great shape, it has 2 small patches that are frayed but can easily be fixed. I was very pleased. I know someone took a lot of time piecing this quilt together.It's queen size.

I can imagine a little girl going to school in some of those print dresses!

wtg!

Great find. It pays to look a little closer at some things. You never know what treasure is awaiting you.

Soooo nice. I'm glad you rescued it.

It's scary that our labor-of-love works might end up in the Good Will store for $2.
