I borrowed this one from a QB member just two days ago..sorry I don't remember who but I liked it...
"She's not a perfect quilt,
she has a flaw or two.
But when you need some
warmth and love,
She will be there for you!

IN HONOR OF AN UNKNOWN QUILTER
I saw your quilt top,/ Green and yellow in the distance./ There it was, catching the breeze,/ Draped over an old chifforobe to dry./ A morning mist had dampened it,/ and Sensing he had a treasure,, The flea market vendor had placed it there.
One end unfinished, brown with the years,/ I held your quilt, saw your face, and cried./ Was it illness? Death? A crippling stroke?/ What made you lay it aside?/ Perhaps your fingers ceased to move./ Anyway, you must have had a reason.
Be assured:/ Your qult is safe with me./ I will wash it, quilt it, care for it,/ And place it on my bed in your honor./ Perhaps some day someone will/ Do the same for me.
