What a beautiful, beautiful quilt. I have insured my quilts for $2,000 to $3,000 when shipping UPS and am always concerned. I haven't had trouble - but this board is making me real concerned about using them for sure. I WOULD NOT use USPS for any reason - they delivered a quilt of a friend to a warehouse and have it on record, but wouldn't do a darn thing about it. Basically took a "so what" attitude even thou they KNEW they were wrong. I too am amongst those who hope you recover your quilt.
