    I have this quilt in a kit, I started in when I was a teen, mine is not yet finished. Yours is amazing and inspires me to get my back out to work on.

    Congratulations on the great find.

    Oh my goodness you lucky lady. Can you believe anyone could pass that up? I'm glad you rescued it and gave it a new loving home.

    Wow. That's amazing. Too bad it ended up in a thrift store. It's a good thing you found it. Nice job.
