Well I snatched it right up. A little hot water and oxyclean took the water stain out and it looks great. It's such a shame when people don't care for the love and care it takes for someone to make a quilt for them. This quilt even has scalloped edges.I am proud to give it a new home and to take care of it.

Someone's loss is your gain. It was meant to be yours - no matter what the circumstances. Enjoy your find!!

Beautiful pattern. When you don't do the work you don't appreciate it at least some people don't. The hrs put into a quilt. Well you have it now so it will be cared for. Sue
