I found this at the thrift store tonight and I wasn't gonna get it even though it looked so sad sitting there for $2.99 My 6 year old daughter said "but mom it's so soft! You would be sad if one of your quilts ended up here. Lets take it home and love it" And so we did! It just makes me wonder who sat there all that time making it only for it to get sent to the thrift store :( It's so pretty!

It is pretty and it will look so nice thrown over a chair back during the holidays. Nice save!

So sad that they couldn't find a child to give it to. It was probably the wrong color for the room or house so out it went. Very sad, but now you have a lovely quilt to love as your daughter said.

It's a darling quilt. Your daughter thinks just like us. She is a quilter in the making.

It's so cute. Sounds like you have a wonderful daughter. Isn't it amazing how smart children can be!
