I found two sites for lost/stolen quilts. You might want to post pictures there.

Hope it's OK to post these links.

I just went to the site you have here. I can't believe how many quilts are stolen..
My guild has a form on our site where you put all the information and a picture of the quilt.

Hope you get it back. It is a beauty.

I am so sorry and I hope you get it back. I can see why it is one for your favorites!

Oh Roberta, that's beautiful. I feel so bad for you...sure hope somehow you can get it back.

I did the same thing once. I had brought a quilt into the shop to look for backing and walked out without it. I realized it on my way home and luckily it was still there when I called back to ask about it. I was in a panic!!

Oh, that is a beautiful quilt. I'd be upset even if it was an ugly quilt. I hope that it inadvertantly got fabric stacked on top of it and it was put in someone's bag and she just hasn't looked in her bag since she got it home. I'd hate to think that a quilter would steal. I know - I need to get my head out of the sand. I really hope you find it.

We all want to think that people are honest - but...........it's been gone for 2 years and I've just realized I could put messages out about it!!

It is so sad to think that someone would take your quilt top. The picture is beautiful and I can only imagine how stunning the piece is in person.

Hopefully a guilty conscience will lead to the return of your work. Best of luck.
