Your daughter certainly has a quilter's heart! I often see family pictures at flea markets and a "junk" store in town and feel so sad for the people in the pics. It's like, why aren't they wanted anymore. I hope my pics and quilts never end up that way!

I think your daughter is wonderful! What a kind soul for a six year old. :)

You did the right thing giving it a home. I once passed up on a little quilt in a thrift store, and I've regretted it ever since.

Great find, you could add a few appliques to it and give it new life.
Have a blessed day

It just makes me wonder who sat there all that time making it only for it to get sent to the thrift store :( It's so pretty!

No doubt DD is new owner!
