    How fortunate that this amazing quilt has found a new owner who appreciates it's beauty and fine hand quilting. Glad you saved it from oblivion.

    I agree! I think this quilt is old! Sandy

    So glad for you, but the thought of all the work that went into this beautiful quilt, sold for $3 by someone who didn't want it. I know we can't expect to control what happens after we create and give a quilt away, but still, it makes me sad.
