I was just watching the morning news. The topic was that baggage fees are increasing this summer. It showed a man - at the large trash can - who was going through his check thru - it was going to cost $65 for his baggage. He was sorting his belogings, and stated that since his ticket was already $165, and it was going to cost another $65 for luggage, he didn't need this sweatshirt, or these pants and definitely not this quilt. QUILT!!!! HE THREW THE QUILT IN THE TRASH! Agggggghhhhhhhh................

Sad. You can take a cary on blanket for free. But yes it is rediculous how they get about taking lugage.

Oh no!! What sacrilege!! Why was he taking it with him on an plane when he didn't want it anyway? I hope the person who made it wasn't watching.

Aaack! Maybe it was one of those cheapie quilts. I sure hope so!

I'm surprised no one lerched for the trashcan to pull it out. What...no quilters near by?

I was hoping the camerman and/or reporter pulled it out after he left. It didn't look like a cheapie to me...we quilters can spot those!!! It looked more like a 'gift' quilt....you all know what I mean!!!

Where are the real quilt police when you need them?

Aw, hope someone pulled it out!
