I saw an ad on Craigslist about 3 years ago for a home made quilt that said 'Iris Quilt'. I looked at the picture and sure enough, it was exactly what I wanted and the price was unbelievable. We finally connected after 3 months and he said he didn't want his Grandmother's quilts and he was glad I was buying it. I put it in a quilt show and named it after his Grandmother. I contacted him and asked her name and that is now the name of the quilt: ***'s Iris. Yes, it is sad that he wouldn't keep it but there were no children/grandchildren and I will take wonderful care of it and pass it on to my daughter who loves Iris flowers. I am very happy with this quilt and it has given a great deal of pleasure to everyone who has seen it. It was origially a kit from Lee Wards and now sells usually for hundreds of dollars if finished. She did expert work on this quilt and I figure whoever buys the stuff on Craigslist will appreciate it like I do.
