It was just hanging there, looking SO bright and pretty! I saw the $3 price tag and I thought about the love and care this was made with. I knew I could not leave this little beauty there in the thrift store. I love the fabrics that are in this quilt. I wonder who made it, and for whom it was made. I wonder who would have passed it on to a thrift store. It is such a happy quilt! I am happy it came home with me!

Oh that is pretty! I like it. You got a good deal!
|
So bright and pretty--I'm glad you gave it a home. :)
|
It has found a good home at last!
|
Very pretty. Nice mite red corners on the border. Glad you gave it a good home.
|
Rescued at last!! Yes!! It's so pretty and happy!! I couldn't have left it there either!! Great find!
|
Only $3.00? Now that's crazy.
|
Great Save! Thanks for showing us this fun quilt!
|
I know most of my quilt if it is up to my brother will end up at a thrift store. He doesn't see the point of them . I think his sons will give to a good charity.
|
You found a Beauty!
|
Great Save! Glad you found it and rescued it. It's a reminder to tag all our quilts.
|
You did great!
|
Congratulations. You did good. I am sure that someone is smiling because their quilt was rescued. BrendaK

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.
|
Too pretty to toss. Glad you rescued it :-)
|
it is very bright and happy,great score
|
And now you have a story to tell about this little wonder!
|
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.
|
Very pretty. Glad it has found a new home.
|
nice happy colours
|
That is really pretty, and it's bright and cheerful.
|
What size is it? Looks like the pretty French fabrics I see each year at QuiltFest.
|
It is a nice quilt. I've given some to Charity when frustrated and cleaning out. I can only hope they found good homes too.
|
I have some of that fabric!
|
Pretty quilt. You lucked out on this one.
|
Really pretty!!!!!!!
|
It's sad to me when I see one at a thrift store because I think of all the work someone put into it only for whoever had it last not to care enough to appreciate it.

It looks like a Moda fabric collection that I have - I think its an American Jane collection called Le Petite Poulet - I still have part of a layer cake - very pretty - so glad you rescued this quilt.
|
I couldn't have left it either! It looks like the French fabrics from the Quilt Fest...
|

Pretty! Great find, and your thrift store is insane with their prices! Glad you gave it a good home.

Glad he found a nice loving home and who ever made it would be very happy you adopted it.

I love it too, I always pick them up and just love to be wrapped in them, especially in our cold snowy weather.
|
Wow, you did hit the jackpot. It is sooo colorful.. Sometimes you find it & sometimes not.
