I went to a local quilt shop and was looking at all the bolts of a fabrics when i overheard the LAQ saying that a guy found three hand quilted quilts on the side of the road.. He brought them to her to fix and gave her one for all her work!!!! I turned around and quickly joined the conversation and stated that there are places online (NAMELY THIS BOARD!!) to post such a huge loss to someone.. That the owner is probably sick with worry about her priceless family heirlooms.. It sickens me that People need to be told the right thing to do.. How annoying!!!! I doubt it will be posted for owner to be located.. What a shame..

In the LAQ's defense... I never had any idea there were such things as lost quilt alert websites UNTIL I discovered this board. Prior to this I couldn't begin to know how to find the owners short of checking lost and found ads.
All to often unknowing people use quilts to wrap furniture in when moving. How many of us have seen that happen? I have seen it countless times on any given highway or byway I have travelled. People who treat the quilts this way usually don't give a damn that they lost the quilt as long as their precious IKEA book case didn't get a bug splat on it.
Prior to discovering QB if I found quilts on the side of the road and did not see any one looking for them via lost and found ads in the local paper I would have thought nothing to repair them and keep them or donate them. Now I do know better and would post a photo here or on lost quilts or quilters cache. Not everyone out there is as internet savvy as we.

It wouldn't have been with other quilts, though.
