Firstly, beautiful quilt, excellent price and glad it has found a loving home.
A lot of people think it is sad when something special ends up at a charity store. In a way it is, however, some people who shop at these places (me included) are not just looking for a bargain, but are collectors etc. If you buy a quilt from goodwill, you either need it to keep warm or as many of us do, love collecting and will display or use the item. Plus the store's income is going to help those in need. Win, win situation.
