All to often unknowing people use quilts to wrap furniture in when moving. How many of us have seen that happen? I have seen it countless times on any given highway or byway I have travelled. People who treat the quilts this way usually don't give a damn that they lost the quilt as long as their precious IKEA book case didn't get a bug splat on it.

Prior to discovering QB if I found quilts on the side of the road and did not see any one looking for them via lost and found ads in the local paper I would have thought nothing to repair them and keep them or donate them. Now I do know better and would post a photo here or on lost quilts or quilters cache. Not everyone out there is as internet savvy as we.
