I was at a local thrift store and found this beauty that needed to be rescued.. Its a poly but quite a beaut!!!

We all know the love and hard work that goes into each of our quilts -didnt have the heart to leave it, So I'm giving this one a new home..

I was thinking the same thing... But have a feeling hubby will claim this one.. He seems to be partial to the poly ones...

It is beautiful. When ever my Thrift shop has something like that or I should say they are usually rags by the time they get them, they put a crazy high price on it and it just sits there for months not being loved.
