    What a treasure - I never see anything like this at any thrift shop.

    What a beautiful quilt. I often wonder why beautiful work like this winds up at Goodwill. Evidentally, they don't know the sentimental value. I have often rescued handmade items from yard sales, crochet, or quilted.

    How anyone could let this end up in a thrift shop is beyond me, but i'm so glad you have saved it.
