Why do I get the feeling I'll be reading about you when your "Quilt Rescue Farm" wins a public service award?

This was really worth preserving. Enjoy.

I'd love to find the person that got rid of this and wring their neck - does no one appreciate something like this anymore? I gave my parents a quilt and they've shown it off countless times, and I guarantee it won't be used as an oil cloth either! I'm glad you found such a treasure but this kind of stuff really ticks me off - people discarding handmade gifts as junk. OK, now if it's made with either macaroni or Popsicle sticks, it probably is, but not a quilt!

Sometimes the workmanship isn't that great. Or the color choices. This one is nice and is worth saving. Not all are.

I'm a recipient of some quilt tops that people have made in the past since I finish them and give them as charity quilts. Some people can't sew. My daughter, a relative new sewer, can put squares better together than some people have on some of the quilt tops I've received.
