Default My Goodwill Find

Here are pictures of the quilt I found at the Good Samartian-Goodwill. There are a couple of tears and one of them are the way thru. There are stains on it too. Enjoy, cause this quilt is beautiful, it is all hand stitched.

If you are just going to display it perhaps leave it but if you plan on using it than I would fix it. Just my thought.

A couple of little butterflies appliqued on there would look as if they were always there. Just find the right fabric and go for it.

WOW - what a beautiful quilt. You are a very lucky lady and the quilt is very lucky that you rescued it.

Absolutely beautiful quilt. I like the butterflies to hide the rips. I would try washing it and maybe soak in ozyclean. Then I would put it on display. I would threaten anyone's life if they try to use it.
