Default Missing quilt

From Facebook:

Ok I know this is a long shot but I'm going to give it a shot, so please pass this on if you would, I'm desperate to have this priceless piece of me back!
My ...grandmother hand made this quilt for me when I was about 10 years old. With me being that young my mom thought it best to pack it away to keep it safe till I was older. Then when we went to move to our new family home, about 13 years ago, this piece disappeared. We have searched and searched and have still never found it, after so long I decided it pry somehow ended up in the donation stuff. It would have ended up donated at the DAV or goodwill in Davenport, Iowa.At the time I had no way of finding it, but my mom found this picture today and I thought Facebook was worth a shot. I'm not sure if anything will come of it, but I'm not out anything except my time to follow the post.
As I said PLEASE PLEASE share this post to everyone you can! I miss my grandmother dearly as she was one of my dearest friends and do not have much to remember her by other than my memories. I will pay you for this piece if that's what you want I just am asking to please get it back. Thank you in advance.

I live in Davenport and will say that I have never seen your quilt at the Goodwill, DAV, or Salvation Army. But I will keep my eyes open for it in the future.
