Me too! I don't understand that no one in the family wanted it? Oh well, at least it is in an appreciative place right now.

I just got a hand pieced, appliques, quilted quilt as part of a lot at an auction. I guess we shouldn't kid ourselves. If we make things that stand up to the generations, they'll outlive the people who loved them.
I personally plan to leave at least 100 quilts for people to discover at yard sales 100 years from now!

Its a beautiful quilt and I am so glad it found a home where it will be appreciated! Lucky you for such a great find.

Absolutely gorgeous! That is a real treasure! Don't know how anyone could part with it let alone for $2!
