Default quilt found

I have been searching all year for a quilt that I have all pieced and decided how I wanted to quilt it with no avail until today. I decided my craft closet was way past due for a good cleaning/sorting and found a diaper bag that was given to me when my 15yr old grandson was born. I had a note pinned to it "quilt inside", when I opened it I found the quilt that has been missing and was so excited. I am not putting it back where I found it as I want to get it marked and started. It is an alphabet quilt that a dear friend of mine embroidered and I pieced, I had put it away as I had some other quilts that needed to get done and forgot where I put it. When I went looking for it I can't tell how many times I moved the diaper bag and did not see the note I pinned to it. Now back to cleaning the closet UGH !!!, but I am a happy camper for my find.

Well that gives me hope. I placed a piece of fabric years ago in a VERY secure place. We are going through the same cleaning process so I am hoping that I find it.

Congrats on finding your missing quilt!

good for you. I loose so many things that it's ridiculous.
Had it in my hand and haven't moved from my chair is the worst

Glad to hear I am not the only one, especially when I sit something down and have not moved. This particular quilt I have been looking for for over a year. Now to find the time to quilt it, maybe this winter as I have too many in various stages and have not even started putting the closet back together. I just tossed everything in the middle of the floor and am starting with what ever is the closest to me.

I spend half of my lifetime looking for fabrics, I got three rippers and I was lucky to have found one. I don't have the tiny ones, I have the F&P ones and they still go AWOL!!

Am currently missing three pink and green quilt tops...all put into a "safe" place to await quilting. Well, I guess it's safe, even I can't find them! They will show up when I am looking for something else.
