It just makes me wonder who sat there all that time making it only for it to get sent to the thrift store :( It's so pretty!
Boy are you teaching your daughter the right priorities! Good for you both!

I go to garage sales and thrift stores and it pains me to see all the afghans and quilts that are up for sale. I have picked up some. I call them orphan quilts. I adopt them.

It's sure a cute quilt. Your DD is so sweet and caring. A true "quilter in training".

I am glad you took it home to love! Such a pity for such nice things to be abandoned!
