This was my thought. I would never get rid of a quilt either (especially one that was a wedding gift!), but... As a military family, we move often enough and I am forever getting rid of things, downsizing, etc., especially before a big move. A move out of the country would have me getting rid of nearly everything. Thing is, non-quilters just don't realize the time, energy and love that *really* goes into a quilt. It makes me cringe to say it, but it was likely, to them..."just a blanket" :-( I wouldn't say anything.
I'm glad it found its way back to you!
