    Beautiful quilt ... so sad that it ended up at Goodwill. At least, it will now have a loving home.

    I agree - it's good that someone like you bought it.....I work in a thrift shop, and a lot of times people buy things like that to put in a pet bed!

    OMG my dogs would be in serious trouble if I even catch them sniffing it. LOL There is no way I would put something as beautiful as that in my dogs bed.

    What a shame that all that beautiful work ended up in Goodwill. Looks like it's hand quilted too. Maybe its all handmade. Obviously someone who didn't appreciate all the hours it must have taken to make. Lucky you found it and will give it a good home.

    What a fantastic find, despite a couple tears and a few stains - the quilt is gorgeous.
