Default Treasure found at a resale store

I love checking out the local resale or charity stores...
Went into the linen are to see if I could find some nice cotton fabric and found a quilt instead. Someone spent so much time hand quilting this beauty...and I find it waiting for a new home in a charity shop.
That's OK...I love it. And it seems to like it's new home....and Tinkerbelle has decided that it is comfy...she has made her nest and snoozed for hours on it.

You made a great find. Love the soft colors and hand quilted ! I am envious! I never find any good stuff in my Goodwill or other re-use for sale shops.

What a lovely quilt. Such a shame that it ended up in a thrift store, but so lucky for you.
