Great Save! Glad you found it and rescued it. It's a reminder to tag all our quilts.

I think you have found a treasure in more ways than one. I am a Francophile and i look for the special delightful artifacts of French culture. From this photo, it looks to me that you found a quilt made from fabrics from Provence in the south of France. I have some of these fabrics in my stash following my visit to Provence in the spring of 2012. Congratulations on finding such a quilt with having to cross the ocean to buy the fabrics.

It makes me sad when I think of the love and time that goes into quilts and then to find them given away and not kept in the family. We all know how expensive fabric is today and I think of all the quilts I have made and many given to others with love. Will they too end up in a thrift store or used as padding for something in the garage. I guess it is best not to think of where they will be 60 years from now. Hopefully some of them are kept and the quilter fondly remembered.
