i agree, why would you assume the worst of people who decide to sell off some quilts,

they might have cherry picked items to keep and are now allowing others to enjoy her work.

So true!! ANd it never fails that there is another layer to the story that we'll never know.


i'm sure the grandmother would be thrilled to know that her quilts and stash financed the higher education of her grandchildren.

my point is don't think the worst of people you do not know their story and should not pass such harsh judgement against them.
you're right. If you have ever had to deal with disposing of someones treasures you get a whole nother picture. You can only do so much. it could be breaking their hearts to have to sell their loved ones treasures.
