Very pretty, I'm glad you took it home. Better to be put up for sale than to languish it a box or closet, never to be used. Your Daughter has a good heart and so do you.

Your DD sounds like she has a tender heart. That is so sweet. I'm glad that you took it home with you. :XD:

isn't that sad? I hope she didn't see it at their garage sale. Like it had no value because it was the inlaws who made it. I hope that didn't hurt her husbands feelings :( If someone ever made something for me I would display it proud!

And yes she does have great empathy! I think maybe because she has seen how long it takes mommy to make her a quilt she can picture someone sitting there making that only for it to end up in a thrift store :(
