I forgot to tell ya'll...a few weeks ago I went to the Salvation Army in a town about 45 min away...I had just got there and I see a worker rolling out a rack of things to put away and I spy a quilt...so Im following her trying to get a better look and waiting for her to hang it up, as soon as she did, I grabbed it!!! It has a couple spots that need mending (any advice on how to do this would be great) but otherwise is in great shape, and it is labeled, Shoo-Fly Block, 1993, made by P.W., Woodhull, IL, which is town farther north. It not old, but I love it, the colors are more accurate in the one block I show that has the small tear. Its hand quilted and pieced and queen size. And I got it for $15.00!!

What a great find!

You might try a small whip stitch to mend it. Or, if you could find a piece of fabric around the same color, try to fit it in

Great Stuff! Hope the maker of the quilt doesn't know that it was donated to the Sal. Army.... That quilt is really beautiful.

What a deal for $15. Some of the ladies that retired with me scour the thrift shops in Milwaukee on a regular basis. Everytime we get together for birthdays, everybody wants to know what their latest great finds were.

Good for you!! It looks beautiful on your bed! And for $15?! Wow!!!!!! :D :D

Great find. It would be interesting to know why it was sent to salvation army instead of handed down to someone.

How wonderful that it found it's way to a true quilt lover. It has a good home now. Sort of like a abandoned puppy.
