I am so sorry for you. Your quilt is so lovely. I had the same thing happen to me. In January I sent a birthday present quilt to my brother who lives in a home for men in Momence, Illinois. I sent it USPS Priority mail from the Main Post Office. I think I made the mistake of putting a little Happy Birthday sticker near the address label. It was sent with delivery confirmation to Honolulu, Hawaii!!!!!no trace of its delivery there.....I firmly believe it was stolen at the main post office and the empty box was sent. That belief I cannot prove. The package was not insured, big mistake. Also I know now that a package can be sent and have a signature confirmation which I will do in the future. Mine was not as skilled a quilt but I am still mad and can do nothing else about finding it.
